Work with me

You've got the creative work.
Let's build the strategy around it.

Most creatives I talk to aren't struggling because they lack talent or ideas. They're struggling because building a website, figuring out SEO, writing consistent content, and showing up on social media is a completely different skillset — and doing all of it alone, on top of the actual creative work, is exhausting.

I've spent 20+ years doing exactly the things most creatives find overwhelming. I can help you cut through the noise, figure out what actually needs your attention, and build something that works — without turning your creative life into a marketing job.

An Honest Check

I don't have a team of account managers or a polished agency deck. What I have is two decades of hands-on digital marketing experience, a deep understanding of how creative businesses actually work, and an honest approach to what will and won't move the needle for you specifically.

I work with a small number of clients at a time. That's intentional.

You bring your biggest marketing, website, or brand question. I bring 20+ years of experience and zero sugarcoating. By the end of the call you'll have a diagnosis of what's actually going on, a prioritized list of what to fix first, and a concrete next step you can act on immediately.

The Artist Audit

A full review of your online presence with specific, honest recommendations.

Price: $349

Most creatives have a website that was built in a rush, a social presence that grew without a plan, and a brand that doesn't quite hang together across all the places they show up. The audit is a deep, honest review of all of it. Delivered in a way you can actually use.

I review your website, your SEO foundations, your brand consistency, and your content positioning. Then I walk you through everything I found in a recorded video (so you can pause, rewind, and reference it later) along with a written priority list of what to fix first, second, and what to ignore entirely.

Who it's for:

  • You've had your website for a while and you're not sure if it's working
  • You're about to relaunch or redesign and want a clear brief before you start
  • You suspect your brand is inconsistent but can't pinpoint exactly where
  • You want specific, prioritized recommendations, not a vague list of things to "consider"

What you get:

  • Full review of your website (UX, copy, SEO basics, conversion flow)
  • Brand consistency check across your key digital touch points
  • Recorded Loom walkthrough (typically 25–40 minutes)
  • Written priority document: what to fix now, next, and later
  • One 30-minute follow-up call to discuss questions (within 14 days of delivery)

Audits are delivered within 5–7 business days of receiving your intake form and payment.

The Growth Partner

Your strategy, brand, and marketing — moving forward every month.

Price: $495

This isn't a course, a community, or a pile of templates. It's a working relationship with someone who understands both the creative side and the business side, and who shows up every month to help you move forward.

  • You're serious about building your online presence and want consistent momentum

  • You want someone in your corner who understands your creative vision and your business goals
  • You're ready to stop figuring this out alone

I take on a limited number of partner clients at a time to ensure quality. A brief application helps me understand your business before we talk. If we're a good fit, I'll reach out to schedule a discovery call.

How it works

Step 1

You reach out.

Fill out a short intake form or book directly. I'll review your situation and confirm we're a good fit before any money changes hands.

Step 2

We get to work.

Depending on which offer you've chosen, we'll either jump on a call, I'll dig into your audit, or we'll kick off your first retainer month with a strategy session.

Step 3

You move forward.

You leave every engagement with specific, prioritized next steps, not a vague sense that things are moving in the right direction. Concrete. Actionable. Yours to implement or hand back to me.

Common questions

Do I need to do the Clarity Call before the retainer?
Not technically required, but strongly recommended. The call gives us both a chance to see if we work well together before you commit to a monthly engagement. Most of my retainer clients started with a Clarity Call or an Audit first.

What if I'm not sure which offer is right for me?

Start with the Clarity Call. If after an hour together we both think ongoing support makes sense, we'll talk about it. No pressure either way.

Do you work with businesses outside the creative industry?

My sweet spot is creative businesses: illustrators, designers, makers, photographers, studios, and people building creative side projects. That said, if you're a small business owner who needs web and marketing help and you think we'd work well together, reach out and let's talk.

What does the 3-month partner commitment mean?

It means we both commit to working together for at least three months. Real marketing results take time to build, a single month rarely moves the needle enough to evaluate what's working. The three-month window gives us enough runway to make meaningful progress and measure it honestly. After three months, we go month-to-month.

Can I cancel my partner plan?

Yes, cancel at any time after the 3-month commitment, with 14 days notice. Life changes, budgets change. I get it.

Not sure where to start?

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Start with the Clarity Call. One hour, $149, and you'll leave knowing exactly what to focus on, whether we work together after that or not.
