You’ve spent years building your illustration career. Now it’s time to take control of where it goes next.

Brand and marketing coaching and mentoring to help experienced artists and illustrators turn their years of freelance work into better-paid, better-fit commissions.

Even when it feels like AI is stealing all of the work.

Many illustrators tell me they know they’re capable of more; they can sense there is more out there for them; opportunities they’re just not quite reaching yet.

 

They also tell me “I want my business to feel like a business,” because it doesn’t yet, even though they’ve been paid artists and illustrators for years.

And recently, they tell me that it feels like AI is coming for them. Fast. Are there any good projects left for real, human artists

To all of these I say: Yes, yes, and YES!

With over 25 years of helping artists share (and get paid for) their creative work, I can say with certainty: You’re more than ready for the next incarnation of your business and the opportunities do still exist. Plenty of them. In fact, human-made art is even more precious now that it’s not a given.

Work with me, and over six months, we’ll hone your brand, develop a marketing strategy you’re excited about (really) that effectively connects you with appreciative clients, and create a practical plan for you to move forward.

Our goal: For the next phase of your career to be shaped by your strengths and ambitions, rather than whatever work happens to come in.

Forge your own path.
