Coaching, Mentoring & Creative Consulting
As well as photography and creative services, I can also help as your Business Coach or Mentor. I make it my mission is to help small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs navigate the exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) world of self-employment. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your business to the next level, I’m here to provide the guidance, support, and practical strategies you need to succeed.
As a business owner, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to turn a passion into a sustainable business. After all, running your own show isn’t just about offering great products or services—it’s about mastering marketing, managing finances, developing systems, and staying motivated through the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. That’s where I come in!
I’m passionate about helping my clients find clarity, build confidence, and create businesses that not only thrive but bring them joy and fulfillment. From crafting business plans to boosting your marketing strategy or handling the day-to-day grind, I’ll walk alongside you every step of the way. My goal is to equip you with the tools and mindset needed to make your business dreams a reality.
I work with all kinds of small business owners—from those just testing the waters of self-employment to those who’ve been in the game for a while and are ready to grow or scale. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to help you grow in a way that feels right for YOU.
Since 2015, I’ve worked with a diverse range of professional artists and business owners at very different stages of their businesses and careers, from varied creative disciplines.
Let’s connect! I’d love to chat about your goals and how we can work together to make your entrepreneurial dreams happen.
