Operations & Creative Business Consulting
After nine years running the retail arm of an artist's business, I now bring that hands-on experience to creatives and art world professionals who need trusted operational support, art direction, and strategy.
I specialize in supporting creatives running businesses, including operations, studio management, product development, merchandising, buying, concepting, and art direction, as well as working with art world professionals who need support, including curating, artist management, art advising, and collection management.
Available for weekly or monthly support, or project-based consultations. Every engagement looks different, so let's talk about what you need.
