MY STORY

I Didn’t Always Have a Voice

I spent a long time hiding.
My public persona was the successful artist, the creative with a ton of agency.
But there were two versions of me: the confident professional and the person quietly wrestling with self-doubt.

Living in that gap taught me how exhausting it is to keep parts of yourself separate just to seem put together.

That changed when I began public speaking and storytelling.
I learned that embracing the whole picture, the professional and the human, is what truly builds confidence and clarity.

That realization changed everything: how I work, how I connect, and how I help others find their voice.

Now I work with business owners who know what they do but struggle to say it clearly, and want that same confidence.
I help you find the words and throughline that make your story easy to share.
Together, we’ll build the clarity and confidence to communicate authentically with clients, investors, and customers.

Our story is how we connect, build trust, and communicate value.

Knowing your story, telling it clearly and with confidence is how you create genuine currency in any relationship.

The Inspiration Behind My Art

My inspiration comes from a deep love of nature. Whenever I feel stressed, I head for the trees or the coast and just breathe it all in.
My work reflects that sense of calm, the lightness you feel when you find yourself surrounded by beauty.
