Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if coaching is right for me?
Book a free discovery call; many clients experience clarity and momentum after one conversation, which helps them decide. If you're feeling stuck, circling the same questions, or disconnected from work that once energized you, coaching can help.
Who is your ideal client?
Ambitious creatives who want more than advice. They're ready for action and accountability—often because they feel stuck, have too many ideas, or are overwhelmed by options.
What kind of coaching do you offer?
I specialize in coaching creative professionals—designers, art directors, writers, and multidisciplinary creatives. I help people navigate change, find clarity, and level up in their careers by turning complex challenges into growth opportunities.
Do you work with clients outside the U.S.?
Yes. I coach clients globally via Zoom. Time zones can always be worked out.
Can my employer cover the cost of coaching?
Often, yes. Many companies support professional development. I can provide an invoice or proposal if you'd like to explore this with your employer.
Do you offer sliding-scale options?
I reserve a limited number of spots each quarter for clients in transition, unemployed, or building their own practice. If this applies to you, let's talk.
What are your qualifications and experience?
I'm an ICF-Certified Professional Coach (PCC) with more than 15 years of creative-industry experience, including roles at Wolff Olins and Huge. I trained in transformational coaching at the Open Center in New York.
How does your coaching process work?
Everything begins with a conversation to understand your goals. Together we co-create a path forward, exploring challenges, identifying strengths, setting goals, and developing strategies to move ahead.
What are the benefits of working with a creative coach?
You'll walk away with clarity, creative breakthroughs, increased self-awareness, renewed confidence, and improved decision-making. Coaching provides compassionate accountability and a fresh perspective.
Do you offer a guarantee?
There is no guarantee of specific outcomes, but I guarantee you'll leave with clarity and actionable next steps. Results depend on your commitment to the process.
