I am a full-service digital agency and creative consultant. My zone of genius is helping you find clarity.
By the end of our conversation, we will both have a better idea what direction is best for you, and whether it is a good match to work together. If so, woohoo! If not, no hard feelings and never any pressure.
What do you need from me? Who creates content for the website?
Glad you asked! This is an important detail in order to keep momentum and clarity in the project.
Unless otherwise stated in your contract, you submit all information and content for the website including copy, pre-existing brand guidelines, logos, elements, photos and imagery, etc.
My basic services include copyediting for marketability and proofreading. I offer end-to-end (full service) copywriting for an additional fee.
You will also submit all original photos and imagery. During our kickoff meeting, we will discuss stock imagery, which I curate.
How do I prepare for a photoshoot?
We will have a conversation that answers all of your questions about your specific shoot ahead of the session.

Will I be able to maintain the site myself and Do you offer site maintenance?

Alternatively, I offer full-service site maintenance for a monthly retainer ranging from $200-800.

What is Creativity Coaching?
This type of coaching examines what areas in your life and business are keeping you stuck and offers you practical exercises and guidance to shift into a creative mindset. Creativity coaching is beneficial during the branding process, and any time you are feeling stagnant, uninspired, “in a rut,” or when you are overwhelmed by your ideas. Whether or not you consider yourself an artist or creative, a coach comes in to help you discover the areas of your life that are blocking you from accessing your true nature.
How can I reach you and submit requests while working together?
Normal business hours are 10am-5pm (PST) Monday through Friday.
All requests and questions should be submitted by EMAIL to support effective and organized communication throughout our work together. I will always return emails within 48 hours, usually sooner.
Important Note: Text messages are not considered official requests and do not guarantee a response.
How long will it take to build a website?
TL;DR: 2-8 weeks
This depends on your specific project.
On average, a typical website is delivered in 4-6 weeks, which takes into consideration all timely content submission, payment, integrations, feedback and brand development calls, and other boring behind-the-scenes details.
It is possible to build a simple Squarespace website in 1 week. This requires all content submitted at the onset of project, payment in full and consistent communication. Rush fees may apply for last minute requests or turnaround times under 3 weeks.
How did you gain expertise in the restaurant, wellness and creative industries?
My life is devoted to connecting humans, making art, playing music, practicing herbalism and nourishing people’s dreams and bellies.
Basically, I LOVE jamming with people - whether with instruments, about business plans, their dreams or in the kitchen.
My successful photography business, and this creative micro-agency has been chugging along in one evolution or another since 2006.
The backdrop of my childhood was that of restaurant kitchens. I started picking up on catering jargon, and learning about the food business when I was literally in diapers. I took my first of many food service jobs at age 15, and at age 16 I became an aesthetician’s assistant at a day spa, where I provided facials and ensured a luxury experience for clients. I can still can be found private cheffing or shaking up yummy potions behind a bar on occasion. My epicurean and artistic passion came naturally…and also led me on a lifelong journey with deep devotion to holistic wellness and healing. But that’s a story for another day.
