Let’s skip the tidy titles—there’s no tagline that could hold the shape of me. I’ve shared sunrises with dairy cows, walked with humans through crumbling identities, designed brands, written a hundred unsellable things. I’ve moved between the silence of a farmhouse and the noise of the internet, built strange containers and let them fall apart. Let myself fall apart—and rise again, too. Said yes and no, sometimes in the same breath. So I don’t offer a method, a framework, a personality-led brand, or some neat little service package, none of those shiny composites of modern digital business.
What I can offer is presence, mostly. Backed with precision and practice when needed. And I have mudded boots that don’t flinch when things get real. I work with people who are ready to drop the act, people who want to bring something real into form. Not by pushing harder, but by clearing the static, and following the thread.
Whatever it is—your work, your voice, your offering, your way—it’s already humming beneath the surface. I help you hear it more clearly, and bring it into the world in a way that reflects who you actually are. We might begin with a sentence, question, logo, grief, joy. We’ll start wherever we need to.
I’ve worked across disciplines, across seasons, across selves, and what I’ve come to know is this: There’s no real separation between your creative life, your inner life, and your visible work in the world. When one shifts, the others do, too. So we move gently. Or sharply, when that’s what’s called for. Or both at once. We create things that feel like you, not like a version of you that pleases everyone and no one. I keep strong coffee and stubborn joy. You keep whatever suits you.
