Work with me

Send me a question, a portfolio, your site or app, or your pitch. I prepare, we talk, you get a recording and a written plan.

You send

A question and context. Ex. for a critique, 12 to 20 images and your statement. For an app or site audit, a URL and its goal. For a pitch, a deck, offer or product. I can work with as little or as much as you want to send.

On the call

50 minutes

After

Recording, written recap and plan

Credit

Fee applicable to your first payment for monthly advising if you start within thirty days. Artists on The Working Artist waitlist keep the credit until a space opens.

We meet regularly to look at what you’re making, work through decisions, and figure out next steps. As I get to know your work and what you want from it, we can build on each conversation—and keep track of what’s moving you forward and what’s making a difference.

For people who would rather focus on making or building than marketing. Three months: who buys it and why, the story in your words, and a website that sells for you and grows a list that belongs to you.

For

Artists: the collections, a statement, a site that sells originals and prints.
Founders: the product’s story and a site that takes the order.
Cultural orgs: the case for the program and a site that signs people up.
Companies: the offer, the proof, a website that produces the inquiry.

Month one

Positioning: who buys, and why

Month two

The story: about page, statement, your work or offers presented in an easy-to-digest format

Month three

The site live, email capture on, a first note out

A monumental list of exhibition, auction, and residency opportunities on the contemporary Western circuit that I’d consider entering or attending, with my notes about each.
