Think of me as your neighborhood’s friendly rebel
As your creative assistant, co-conspirator* and hype woman, you’ll have over 10 years of book design experience, 15 years of operations/strategy/admin support, and a lifetime of calling myself a writer and artist in your corner.
I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs and creatives bring their hidden projects out into the world
Maybe you’ve felt this too – excited and empowered by the early phases of an exciting new project, but struggle to keep focus when the going gets mundane. No matter the size or scope, I’ve found that external accountability, a bird’s eye view, and a path to follow are crucial ingredients to help myself and other folks keep moving forward on their creative projects.
Tell me about your triumphs and losses, so we can take what feels like life’s impossible challenges and alchemize them into gold
Using my gifts of being highly sensitive, intuitive, and empathetic in the service of creativity and caretaking, I can hold your vision with you. Help you meet deadlines. Break down daunting tasks. Organize the chaos of the creative process.
Witnessing your creative output and helping you express that beauty using fastidious, clear-cut editorial prowess. Articulate solutions you may not initially see. I can be analytical, exacting, and perfecting to get your creative project into the world, supporting you with generosity and optimism.
* “Co-conspirators are more than allies because they don’t simply think about helping an individual, they focus on advancing a cause. They are change agents, with bigger hopes, who take bigger actions—which is necessary to create widespread and long-lasting change.” from Ella Bell Smith And Ashley Zwick, at the Tuck Initiative for Workplace Inclusion
