I work with people to bring out the most alive version of their project.
There is a yearning in you toward something. A way of making that you haven't let yourself have. Maybe some part of you says that's not allowed — that you need to be more disciplined, you need to get your shit together.
What I've found is that there's a part of you — maybe one that never got to play, or had their play cut short — that is essential to whatever you're making next. The gift you're offering to the world is downstream of you reconnecting with that part of yourself.
You are loved just as you are. And being loved in this way is where the greatness of your work comes from.
It's just a lot more fun.
I do this by working alongside you across a set of studio sessions — playing, asking questions, naming patterns, having you show me around what you make. Together we find interesting things to build.
It should be fun to work on the thing you're working on. When it's fun, it's more creative, easier to pick up, and it goes where it wants to go. Purposeful play in service of your project's forward momentum. That's how I work.
Sessions come in three flavors depending on what you need. Sometimes we work face-to-face — on you, your patterns, your relationship to the work. Sometimes we work side-by-side — I sit next to you while you build, adding design juice, naming what I see. Most sessions end up somewhere in between. We move between you and the project as the energy asks.
I work with people monthly — weekly sessions, usually three months to start. It's $1,500–6,000 a month depending on your resources. A single session is $350.
If any of this is resonating with you, reach out. We can do 30 minutes where we drop into your project, get to know each other a little bit. You let me know what's exciting you right now, where you're struggling. I'll offer some reflection — what I'm hearing, what I'm feeling in the project. We decide whether or not there's some chemistry and right now is the time to work together.
I look forward to getting to know you.
I believe healthy founders create healthy realities. What you're made of goes into what you make. I help with the made-of part.
I run a school with my partner Kristen called Play Into Being — a studio of practice for people making important projects.
