I built and sold my creative agency. Now I'm on a mission to help you build yours.
I grew my creative agency through trauma and toil. No mentor. No online courses. Just me trying to figure it out. Fortunately I made more right decisions than wrong and I sold my successful agency in 2015. In 2018, after billing more than $30,000,000, I left my agency to fulfill my true passion. I want to be the creative mentor I always wished I’d had. I’m sharing every system, process, template and strategy that led to my success to help you in your journey as a freelancer or agency owner. Learn more about my journey.
