About

I work with high-performing creatives and leaders who operate in high-pressure, fast-moving environments. As a Creative Strategist and Certified Mindfulness & MBSR Teacher, I design programs for creative teams, artists, and organizations at the intersection of impact, performance and care helping creative teams and individuals transform stress from a performance liability into a strategic advantage without sacrificing their creativity, clarity, or well-being. Drawing on 15+ years in creative strategy and professionally certified mindfulness training, I deliver evidence-backed practices that help clients: • Sharpen focus in high-stakes moments • Regulate pressure with intentional presence • Sustain performance long-term without burnout • Build cognitive resilience that supports leadership and creativity I’ve partnered with agencies, universities, entertainment companies, and cultural institutions to create high-impact workshops, keynotes, and strategic performance programs that deliver measurable results for teams and individuals alike. If you’re leading a creative team, agency, or cultural organization that wants to go further without burning out, let’s talk.
