In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

— Krishnamurti

 

I work at the intersection of strategy, soul and execution.

I’m a creative entrepreneur, brand strategist and advisor to mission-driven individuals and businesses. For the past 15 years, I’ve been helping people clarify what they’re building—and why it matters.

My clients range from spiritual seekers to high-functioning founders, nonprofit directors to artists-in-transition. What unites them is the desire to build something meaningful without losing themselves in the process.

I bring a background in design, marketing and business development—as well as deep training in transformational work, systems thinking and human behavior. Whether I’m supporting someone in launching a product, rebranding a company or navigating a personal pivot, I offer perspective, structure and creative clarity.

I’ve founded six businesses, led unconventional nonprofits and worn nearly every hat along the way. I’m not here to theorize—I’m here to help you move.

Build Something That Matters

 
 

Strategic Business Consulting

Not every idea needs wings. But some? Some won’t let you sleep. They tap your shoulder in quiet moments. They haunt your to-do list. They’re the ones worth building.

I help people bring those ideas to life—with strategy, structure and soul.

With a background in design, marketing and brand development—and two decades of lived entrepreneurial grit—I offer strategic consulting for creators, founders and teams ready to align vision with execution.

  • Product Design – Shape offerings that don’t just look good, but feel right to the people you serve.

  • Brand Development – Build an identity that speaks with clarity, consistency and depth.

  • Market Positioning – Find your rightful place in the ecosystem—and claim it with confidence.

Whether you're starting something new or reworking something old, I bring honest insight, practical tools and creative momentum.

Let’s make something that lasts.

 
 

Lead Like You Mean It

 
 

Leadership Development Workshops

Leadership isn’t a title. It’s not a checklist of competencies or a perfectly calibrated brand. It’s how you show up when no one’s watching. It’s how you move through conflict, through vision, through change. It’s who you become while doing the hard and holy work of building something that matters.

These workshops are designed for leaders in motion—those who want to grow with integrity, not just scale for the sake of it.

  • Self-Discovery – Uncover the values, patterns and beliefs that shape how you lead.

  • Skill Enhancement – Strengthen communication, decision-making and presence under pressure.

  • Team Dynamics – Learn how to build trust, navigate conflict and cultivate high-functioning teams.

Whether you’re running a business, guiding a team or shaping culture, these workshops are a place to pause, reflect and level up—with honesty and heart.

 
 

Make The Thing

 
 

Creative Project Mentorship

You know the one. The idea that won’t let you go. The sketch on the napkin. The voice memo at 2am. The thing that feels equal parts thrilling and terrifying. That’s the one worth making.

I work with creatives, entrepreneurs and edge-walkers who are ready to bring something real into the world—something honest, resonant and fully alive.

  • Concept Development – Shape your idea into a clear, compelling and workable form.

  • Resource Alignment – Get connected to the right tools, collaborators and momentum.

  • Execution Strategy – Build a plan that carries your vision all the way through to launch (and beyond).

This isn’t about productivity for productivity’s sake. It’s about making what you’re here to make—with clarity, courage and a little bit of magic.
