Creative Strategy + Sustainability
for folks wearing too many hats
Show + Tour Producing
If you have a show, tour, series, or creative project that feels exciting but overwhelming, these sessions help you zoom out and get strategic. We’ll clarify goals, audience, scope, and next steps so the project becomes buildable instead of theoretical.
Stand Up Performance Consult
Whether you’re building a new hour, refining festival submissions, or figuring out why a bit isn’t landing, we’ll dig into your material with both care and precision. I focus on voice, structure, and audience connection without sanding off what makes you you.
Speech Writing + Public Speaking
From advocacy speeches to professional presentations, I help speakers communicate complex ideas with clarity and emotional impact. The goal is a speech that sounds like you and reaches the people who need to hear it.
