Creative Clarity Session
$140
One 60-minute session focused on a single question or project. You’ll leave with a clear next step.
You build products all day. Let’s build something that’s yours.
Creative coaching for tech professionals: systems to help you ship your side projects and emotional tools for the fear and perfectionism that stall them.
This is for you if…
You have a notes app full of ideas you haven’t started.
You’re “the creative one” at work, but you haven’t made anything for yourself in years.
Your career is thriving on paper, and you still feel drained.
You want a creative life alongside your job.
What we’ll work on
-
Ship your side projects
We’ll find where your projects stall (scope creep, perfectionism, no protected time) and design a maker’s cadence that fits around a demanding job.
-
Make room for making
We’ll set up the rituals, time, space, and people that make creative work the default, then check in on your progress each week and adjust.
-
Work through the feelings that stop you from starting
Imposter syndrome, “I’m not a real artist,” and the fear of sharing your work publicly are normal at the beginning. We’ll name the patterns and define healthier responses that build your self-trust and self-compassion to keep going.

About me
A few years ago, I was a senior product designer leading high-impact projects. On paper, my career was thriving. Then my parents came to visit and told me I didn’t look well, that I needed to take better care of myself. I hadn’t said a word about being unhappy, but they could see my spirit was burnt out. The truth was, I had bigger questions about what I could create outside of a corporate job.
Those questions had started back in 2019, when I asked myself, “Am I a creative person?” I spent the next few years exploring painting, cooking, and hosting community maker nights. Working through Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, I realized I had been limiting my own creative potential, and that the only way to grow was to pursue my grand dream of exhibiting my work. Around the same time, I mentored high school students at Problem Library, a nonprofit dedicated to developing young people’s creative potential, and learned how to foster the creative spirit in others.
“A forcing function to become.”
So I gave my two weeks’ notice and started an indefinite sabbatical. Despite my hesitation, I signed up for SF Open Studios, a citywide exhibition just a month away. “A forcing function to become,” I figured. It turned into the start of a much deeper sense of my own artistry. Over the next X months, I created five immersive exhibits that connected emotionally with my community:

Seeing how art inspires, transforms, and connects the people who experience it gave me real confidence in my work. Immersive exhibitions as a path to emotional wellness are now at the heart of what I make.
I work as both an artist and a product designer, so I know firsthand that a creative life can live alongside a demanding job.
Throughout all of it, I’ve mentored friends and community members through their own creative endeavors. Now I offer formal coaching for people who want active guidance and structure as they grow into their creative potential.
What people say
“Before working with her, I was trying to make sense of a very messy moment in my career and professional life with lots of ideas orbiting in my heart, but I didn’t have room, direction, and priority. So I found myself postponing my creative self and what I’m most proud of now is that I feel back in touch with what makes me me.”
