Consulting

Story work is listening work.

You've got drafts — maybe several — but something isn't landing and you can't quite name what. You've gotten notes before and they haven't helped. What you need is someone who listens differently — and helps you find what your story needs next.

I think I might be that person. Let's find out.

Workshops

Workshops are in development.

I'm currently building a self-guided workshop and a small mentored cohort for writers, directors, and actor-creators working with AI tools — without losing their creative voice in the process.
