My Background

As a creative entrepreneur myself, I have collaborated with startups, established businesses, artists & writers, venues, and new entrepreneurs to create unique experiences, products, and business models that are financially sustainable and impactful. I bring my love for literature (I’ve run and sold my own bookstore!), creative souls, and finance to all of my engagements. Yep, I put creative souls and finance in the same sentence. It’s possible.

Bringing magical experiences to life.

I’m standing on the sidelines here, watching artists perform at Earfull, an award-winning series combining writers and musicians on one stage and for one night. The night always feels like magic to those attending – a real, memorable experience like few others. But I always watch in awe as I understand the enormous work and plans undertaken by my fellow cofounders to create the series, market and brand our efforts, and run it as an LLC business. A magical experience is what we hope to create, but a great deal of thoughtful planning and work are behind the curtains, always. 

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you know why.”

— Mark Twain

This quote from Mark Twain always moves me. It challenges me to think about my purpose in life and in my vocations. It reminds me that knowing your purpose is only the first step. You must also put it into action. This is where the how complements the why. Connecting, collaborating, and designing the how is my purpose. Maybe I can help you figure out the how to your purpose. Let’s connect.

Make it creative.

Make it work.

That’s the challenge I love most; taking a creative project and making it a viable business that is both sustainable and impactful is my jam. I may just be the how to your why.
