Coaching, Consulting, and Mentorship
Stuck? Been there.
I started designing and developing in 2005, the last 9 years of which I spent teaching and running design sprints for startups, small businesses, and non-profits. And despite all that's changed, the hardest parts remain the same - job hunting, dealing with clients, and sharing your work effectively.
Book some time with me, and let's talk about it - the first time is free, and each time after that is based on a sliding scale that favors the underdogs.
Real craft, for real PEOPLE
No artificial ingredients required. I've helped over 500 designers learn to do the unparsable.

Structured Coaching
To improve your craft and your career, you need more feedback than “Damn, that’s crazy”.
Together, let’s make a plan that actually works.
Orient
We’ll work together to determine where you are as a designer or business.
1
Plan
What are we working towards? Both personally, and in your career?
2
Execute
Together we’ll craft small, manageable steps to achieve your longterm vision.

Feedback
What’s the fun of homework if you’re not being graded? Yeah, I know - but it is necessary if you’re going to improve.
