PROTECT YOUR CREATIVITY
Advancing the most meaningful aspects of your work while balancing the realities of financial and marketing pressures is a monumental task. Let me help alleviate those pressures while you concentrate on your strengths and interests.
HOW I CAN HELP
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND BUSINESS MODELING
Demystify business principles and map out achievable building blocks to growth and profitability.
FUNDRAISING
The money is out there. Talk to the right people in their own language about the true value of your work.
TAMING CHAOS INTO ORDER
Get organized, make sense of conflicting advice and find a balanced flow that is nurturing to your core work.
MANAGING BUSINESS FUNCTIONS
Share responsibility over key, day-to-day business matters so that you can focus on the aspects of your work that you find most satisfying.
Whatever your resources - together, we’ll figure out how you can take the biggest and best step forward. Consulting fees can be customized for your unique needs and are based on the resources available to you, the scope of work and the level of my involvement.
I AM BOTH KINDS OF PEOPLE
As a lifelong filmmaker, I understand the unique challenges artists face each day and I'm all too familiar with the tension between what's good for one's art and what's required for modern business.
At the same time, I’ve been in organizational leadership positions at corporations like Google and The Honest Company and have helped launch well-funded tech and healthcare startups. As a result, I have a deep understanding of what makes good businesses work, and I've learned how to engage effectively with the financially-oriented, especially on behalf of those who are not.
I’m always most fulfilled when I use my knowledge, skills and effort to make art and empower artists. If there’s a chance I can help you - even by just talking through a problem - send me a note. If we find that I can’t help, I’ll still be rooting for you!
