Guiding the Next Generation of Creatives

Whether I’m speaking on panels, teaching in classrooms, mentoring emerging creatives, or coaching teams through award-winning storytelling, my goal is always the same. To demystify the industry, and help people step Into their creative confidence.

  • Portfolio coaching, career guidance, storytelling development, and confidence-building for emerging talent stepping into the industry.

  • Personalized coaching sessions designed to help writers, designers, directors, and strategists level up their craft and prepare for awards, internships, jobs, or next-step opportunities.

  • I’ve supported hundreds of creatives through D&AD Shift, MAIP, AAF, The One Club for Creativity, university programs, and beyond, helping them build confidence, refine their voice, and take the next step in their creative journey.

  • Workshops, guest lectures, panels, and keynotes focused on creativity, awards, career development, and building inclusive, empowered creative communities.
