ABOUT
I’m Michelle Roshanzamir, a consultant, arts administrator, and producer dedicated to helping creatives, founders, artistic directors, and leaders take their ideas from concept to reality—and develop thriving, sustainable businesses along the way.
I’ve spent years working at the intersection of creativity and business, supporting a wide range of artists, entrepreneurs, and leaders. Whether you’re an arts admin, a creative visionary, or an entrepreneurial spirit, I help you bridge the gap between your bold ideas and the business strategies that bring them to life.
You’re passionate, driven, and committed to your work—but when it comes to organizing the chaos, creating a plan, and getting things done, it can feel overwhelming. I get it. That’s where I come in. I provide real-world strategies that turn your big ideas into actionable, results-driven plans that align with your values and your financial goals.
I’ve worked with creatives, leaders, and entrepreneurs across the arts, entertainment, and culture sectors—including those in the creator economy, from writers and filmmakers to artistic directors and managers of nonprofits and for-profits. No matter the field, the challenges are often the same: you have the vision, but you need a plan that brings it to life while keeping you financially secure and creatively fulfilled.
​
Through personalized support, I work with you to:
-
Develop strategic plans that take your ideas from vision to reality.
-
Coordinate and manage projects, events, and programs with clarity and precision.
-
Identify and pursue funding opportunities—including grant writing and applications.
Whether you're launching a new project, building a nonprofit, or leveling up an existing business, I help you craft a strategy, determine your next steps, and explore funding options so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Where It All Began...
​
The seeds of what I do today were planted when I was an art school student at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). Back then, I scoffed at the "business side" of things—despite secretly being drawn to management and producing. It wasn’t until I pursued an MBA/MFA in Theatre Management at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), that I saw the value in merging the creative with the business.
It was the perfect combination in many ways: I learned to balance the arts and business in a way that felt aligned with my passion for creativity and my growing expertise in operations and strategy. Though I eventually decided to focus solely on the MBA, this choice gave me the tools and connections that have been instrumental in my career.
Beyond school, real-world experience became my greatest teacher. I saw firsthand how creatives and leaders—especially in the arts, entertainment, and culture sectors—struggled to manage the business side of their work. They had the talent and vision, but often lacked the structure and strategy to bring those dreams to life. That’s when I knew I could help.

Because when you’re clear on what you want to do and how to get there, everything becomes possible. Let’s work together and make it happen.
Taking control of your idea or business has never been easier - and more fun!
