I get it. As a creative entrepreneur it’s easy to feel like you’re… 

• struggling to lift your business off the ground
• unsure how to get your business operations in order so you can scale
• limping along with a business that was duct taped together behind the scenes

You're not alone!

Reality Check

Over the years I’ve witnessed so many creatives who have the talent and the skill needed to be a creative entrepreneur. When their businesses flopped or never even took off, it left me scratching my head wondering WHY? 

I discovered it wasn’t talent, skill, or passion these designers lacked. What they were missing was the business know-how needed to run a successful, sustainable, and scalable business.

You might be one of these creatives too if you’re…

→ doubting your skill
→ feeling the imposter syndrome BIG TIME
→ considering throwing in the towel all together

I’m here to remind you, you are talented & capable

I DISCOVERED TALENT ISN’T THE ISSUE

I DISCOVERED TALENT ISN’T THE ISSUE

After art school, I went to work at a branding firm in NYC. Here, I discovered I had a knack and passion for the business side of the creative industry. So, I made the leap and worked my way up to hold dual titles as the Director of Client Services & the Director of Operations, learning how to run a design studio and creative business along the way. 

When I started noticing that so many talented designers & creatives were struggling to make it in the creative business simply because no one had ever taught them how to run a business, I knew I had the tools and resources to make a difference.

SERVICE IS INFUSED INTO EVERYTHING I DO.

Today, I help artists, makers, & designers balance the creative and business sides of entrepreneurship.

NO ONE TAUGHT YOU HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS

I’m here to tidy up, streamline, and strategize your business operations so you can finally get a handle on it all! As the Home Edit ladies say, “it’s a system.” 

I harness my 13+ years in the industry, years of experience running a design studio in NYC as their Director of Operations and Director of Client Services, years of freelancing experience, obsession with client experience, and my own experience running a successful creative business to help you tap into your potential and watch your business grow!
