You’re running your own creative life and business.
That’s a lot.
Sometimes you need someone outside the chaos who can help you sort things out and see what’s next.
I offer a “One-on-One for a 180” — a focused, one-on-one conversation—part clarity, part strategy—designed to help you get unstuck and move forward with confidence.
It’s not therapy. It’s not coaching.
It’s a conversation with someone who’s been there—and helped hundreds of others find their way through it.
• A 75-minute 1:1 session (Zoom or phone)
• A follow-up summary with reflections and next steps
• Optional resource or tool suggestions based on your situation
• Clarity, perspective, and a plan
Working artists and independent creative professionals who seek continual improvement, steady achievement of goals and a greater awareness of the health and outlook for their businesses.
• Artist-entrepreneurs
• DIY Musicians, producers, and creatives in transition
• Creative founders juggling vision and business
• People building something real who need clear thinking and grounded support
A helpful intro to the development theories and techniques used by me – and the meaning behind them.
