Clarity, strategy, and grounded support for creative business owners.

Running a creative business often feels like riding two rollercoasters at the same time... You are designing, managing clients, juggling admin, keeping track of finances, leading a team, AND trying to grow in a way that actually feels aligned. You do not have to carry it alone.

Creative Business Coaching offers a supportive and strategic space designed specifically for creative founders. This is where you can talk through challenges, get grounded guidance, and walk away with a clear direction. No judgement, no pressure, and no need to have it all figured out. You get to come as you are.

With a background in Psychology from UC Berkeley and over a decade of experience inside interior design and creative studios in roles that include Operations Manager, Studio Director, Project Manager, Executive Assistant, and Account Manager, I bring a blend of practical business expertise and emotionally intelligent support. I understand how creative brains work, how creative studios operate, and how to guide you toward clarity and sustainable growth.

This is coaching for the whole creative. Strategic, thoughtful, empathetic, and deeply grounded.

A few quick answers so you know what to expect before we work together.

  • You are not alone in feeling that way. Most clients begin with the Creative Studio Deep Dive because it gives you clarity, direction, and a personalized plan before you choose a longer partnership. If you already know you want ongoing support, we can talk through whether coaching, Flexible Studio Support, or a fractional Creative Business Manager role is the best fit.

  • Interior designers are my primary specialty because I have more than a decade of experience inside design firms, but I also support visual designers, brand studios, and other creative service businesses. If you run a studio and want more clarity, structure, or support behind the scenes, we are probably a great match.

  • Creative operations is the behind the scenes structure of your studio. This includes your workflows, communication, systems, client processes, team coordination, and all the internal pieces that help your creative work run smoothly. My job is to bring clarity, simplicity, and support to these areas so your business feels lighter and easier to lead.

  • Not at all. Your business does not need to be “ready” for support. I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and help you make sense of the parts that feel heavy or chaotic. Messiness is normal in creative studios, and fixing it is part of the work we do together.

  • Flexible Studio Support gives you a bundle of hours to use for admin, operations, systems, procurement, or project tasks. It is ideal when you need help during a busy season or want to try working together.

    The Creative Business Manager service is a fractional partnership where I integrate into your team each month and bring additional backend support. This is the highest level of care for studios that want long term structure, leadership, and stability.

  • You can request my current pricing at any time. Each service page includes a simple button that lets you enter your email, and I will send a clear, easy to read PDF with all package details, inclusions, and pricing straight to your inbox. This keeps everything organized for you and makes it easy to compare options or share details with your team. If you are unsure which service is the best fit, I am always happy to help you choose!
