About

  • Fourteen years ago, with three babies under two, I was not in the traditional workforce, searching for an alternative, a creative outlet. I discovered card making, and what started as a hobby during naptimes and bedtimes became an immersive learning experience. I was obsessed with Neenah 110 lb classic crest solar white cardstock, the art and science of color theory, and photography—shooting in manual mode, perfecting composition, and using natural light. I dove into photo editing software, content management, and social media, building a presence in the crafting community. My work was featured in PaperCrafts Magazine and landed a few brand ambassador opportunities. I took pride in every detail, from design to execution, and loved transforming ideas into tangible, beautiful creations.

    While attending a creative conference, I had a pivotal moment—a fellow creative saw the other side of me: the problem solver, the strategist, the one who saw not just art but systems, workflows, and processes that could make creative businesses thrive.

    That insight led me to merge my two worlds: creative intuition and business strategy.

    For nearly 25 years, I’ve worked in corporate strategy and project management across different industries including Mayo Clinic, CBRE, Sun Health, and others. I specialize in transforming big ideas into actionable plans, using my expertise in streamlining workflows, organizing projects with clear steps and timelines, and designing a game plan to turn ideas into income to help teams organize, scale, and deliver results. I earned an MBA and various certs along the way, including becoming a certified project management professional and a Six Sigma green belt.

    Now, I bring that same skill set to creative founders—helping visionaries turn passion into profitable, sustainable businesses. Whether you need a multi-year roadmap or a workplan for launching a new idea, refining your operations, or structuring your workflow, I’m here to help you bridge the gap between inspiration and execution—turning your creativity into a plan for a revenue-generating engine.
