Strategic Business Support for Creatives, Nonprofits, and Founders Ready to Thrive
You don’t have to do it all alone. Whether you're running a one-person show or leading a growing nonprofit or business, I help you turn big ideas into clear action - with systems, strategy, and support that actually move the needle.
You’ve got the vision, the drive, and the work that makes a difference - but the back-end of your business is a mess, your to-do list is never-ending, and you're stuck in reactive mode.
That’s where I come in. I’m your behind-the-scenes strategic partner - building systems, running projects, guiding growth. So your business doesn’t just function - it flourishes.
Let’s talk through what support looks like for your work.

Ways to Work Together
🎯 1:1 Deep Dive Session
A focused 90-minute consult where we dig into what’s not working and get clarity on your next steps
Includes: Action plan follow-up within 48 hours.
Best for: strategy alignment, system mapping, or launch/game plan check-in.
🛠️ Short-Term Project (2 - 4 Weeks)
A defined deliverable with support: think launch planning, ops overhaul, or designing or implementing a system you’ve been putting off.
You bring the need. I bring the roadmap and the execution support.
Best for: you have limited time, know what you want to do - and need focused support to get something out the door.
📈 Monthly Retainer (3 Months+ Engagements)
Ongoing strategy and implementation support for your business or organization. Starts at 12 hours/month with flexible options up to 30 - 40 hours+/month.
Best for: leaders ready to step out of the weeds and into CEO mode.
Your business deserves better than constant hustle and burnout. Let’s get it running like it should.
“I should just figure this out myself.”
Doing it all alone is why you're stuck. You don’t need to be the CEO and the project manager and the ops lead. Let’s shift that.
“I’m not ready yet.”
If you’re already generating consistent revenue, then you are ready for this level of support. Systems and strategy aren’t the finish line - they’re what get you there.
“I can’t afford to hire a full-time person.
” Good news: you don’t have to. My monthly retainers are a fractional solution - real expertise without the full-time overhead.
“I’ve had a bad experience bringing someone on in the past.”
That makes sense - and it’s more common than you think. This work is relational and strategic. My approach is collaborative, transparent, and tailored to your business - not a generic template.
“I don’t have time to bring someone in right now.”
If you’re maxed out, that’s the exact reason to bring someone in. Support doesn’t slow you down - it buys back your time and moves the work forward without everything being on your shoulders.
“Things are a mess - I don’t want anyone to see behind the curtain.”
I’ve seen it all. No shame, no judgment - just clarity, structure, and progress. The mess is where we start, not a reason to wait.
“This sounds great… but I’m not a ‘big enough’ business for this yet.”
You don’t grow into systems - you grow because of them. You don’t need to be a big business to benefit from solid strategy and operational support. You just need to be serious about growing.
“What if I lose control of the work if I bring someone in?”
You’re not handing over your vision - you’re partnering with someone to help carry it out. You stay in the driver’s seat. I’m here to map the route and help you steer.
