Consulting
Consultations are great for both brand-new artists who are looking for assistance in getting started, or for more established ones who are “stuck” and need fresh insight from someone who has been through the process. It’s also great for people who have a specific area where they want training.
Get Started
Basic
Perfect if you have a few very specific questions or just need a general direction to get you started or move onto the next phase of a project.
Popular
An hour allows me to answer your initial questions, provide in-depth feedback, and gives us enough time for any follow-ups to work through certain ideas.
Pro
A two-hour session is best served when you have a project in mind that requires us to work through a lot of details or brainstorm many ideas and options.

Still unsure, here are some examples of what we can work on together…
I can guide you through the entire process, from nurturing your initial idea into a fully developed concept, crafting the show’s structure, all the way to polishing presentation materials like a pitch deck and sizzle reel.
I can impart fundamental editing skills or share time-efficient techniques to elevate your content without complexity.
I have seen hundreds of reels, headshots, resumes, cover letters, personal websites, videos, scripts, and more. I possess a keen understanding of effective and ineffective techniques, and can assist in crafting your materials to ensure they stand out.
I know how to live stream to major platforms such as YouTube and Facebook through a variety of means, such as NewTek’s TriCaster, Black Magic Design’s ATEM, OBS and so on. I can help you customize your setup to do the same.
No matter what medium you’re using to showcase your creative projects, the story needs to be compelling and engaging. I can help you to avoid cliches, and voice a universal truth that will speak to audiences globally.
Every creative project needs some sort of graphics – even a novel needs a cover. In the 21st century, it’s even more important to have consistent and clever artwork across all platforms (website, social media, product, etc) to convey your message and target potential fans. How do you create such artwork? I can help.
Whether you’re a new host that wants to learn the basics or someone who’s been hosting for a while and wants to grow, I can help. I’ll provide feedback, address any concerns, and then create a strategy with exercises for you to do that will hone your hosting skills to the next level like I’ve done for countless hosts.
Most art requires people and/or equipment. So how do you utilize both in the most efficient and cost-effective manner? Well, the answer is case specific but I can help guide you to use best-practices and help you avoid the common pitfalls, and, more importantly, time and money wasters. Rather than face headaches as you create your project, you’ll be able to focus on the true creative aspects and bring your fullest vision to life.
You need to know where your money is going – both personally and professionally. More than that, you also want to make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck. I can help you there. I’ve been doing productions for cheap since I was a teenager and have learned over the years where you can save some money and where you should not be frugal.
Many people will say it’s all about who you know. I don’t entirely subscribe to that notion because I believe you also have to have talent and skills. But I do admit that you certainly have to develop and build your network of industry contacts to sustain your career over the long term. After all, artistic fields are collaborative in nature. I can show you ways to meet new people and strengthen past bonds.
The 21st century has brought amazing tools to all artists. But which ones are right for you? That’s where I can shed some light. I’m a techie by nature and love staying up to date across all fields – graphic design, editing, filming, podcasting, distributing, etc. Don’t waste time or money on equipment or software you don’t need. Get the right tools from the get-go. Furthermore, maybe you have what you need but don’t know how to fully utilize it. I’m happy to navigate you through all settings and features to make your production workflow smoother and your end product better.
I have been in the podcast space before it was even an industry. Through my work at AfterBuzz TV, I’ve helped revolutionize systems and methods to podcast better and cheaper. I can help you customize your podcast gear, format your show, enhance your recording techniques for cleaner sound, edit your MP3 files and publish them in such a way that they get distributed everywhere so you access all podcast audiences and not just one. Before you hire me to work with you on your podcast, I suggest reading my Podcast Guide – it might just answer everything you need. But if you’re looking for more detailed or customized solutions, then I’m happy to help.

The goal of any creative person is to reach an audience and connect with them. I have years of proven methods to be able to do just that. I can help you find, sort and understand all your metrics and how to apply them best through social media marketing. Additionally, I have learned inventive ways of reaching targeted fan bases and can help you achieve the same with your content, including creating partnerships with the right platforms.
Our art needs to be spiritually fulfilling if it is to resonate with audiences. But it can also provide income as well. The two don’t have to be mutually exclusive and I will work with you to create revenue streams through low hanging fruit as well as untapped opportunities.
If you see something that matches what you’re looking for, then you’re a great fit to work with me.
