Coaching

I know a lot about designing a creative life.

I've been practicing on myself for years: leaving jobs, moving to new places, and developing a highly personalized career path based on niche interests.

Along the way, I've healed a chronic pain condition, adopted a dog, travelled extensively, built rock-solid friendships, and claimed one of the most flexible schedules around.

There's enough money flowing in for all of this to function relatively smoothly.

My approach

Helping you build a life around your own interests.

01

Clarify your vision

What does your ideal life actually look like? We start by getting honest about what you really want.

02

Design your path

Build a practical, step-by-step plan to move from where you are to where you want to be.

03

Navigate the messy middle

The transition isn't linear. I'll help you work through the fears, doubts, and logistics.

04

Sustain your creative life

Build habits, systems, and mindsets that keep your creative life running long after we stop working together.

You might be a good fit if…

  • You have interests you'd love to build a life around, but aren't sure how
  • You're thinking about a major life change and want support navigating it
  • You want a more creative, flexible, intentional way of living
  • You've been doing "the right things" but something still feels off
  • You'd like to create more of what you use and consume

I work with people one-on-one. Sessions are relaxed, honest, and practical. No scripts, no formulas — just a real conversation about your life and what you want it to look like.


Let's talk about your life.

Reach out and tell me a little about where you are and what you're curious about. No pressure, just a conversation.
