FAQs

  • What's your background?

    Before NEED THIS FOR WORK, I was the Director of Creative Strategy and served as an employee-elected board member of the full-service growth agency Common Thread Collective. I recruited, trained, and grew the team for three years, managing the P&L and collaborating with nearly every department at our agency.

  • Do you have a superpower?

    Teaching creatives to become more analytical and buyers speak the language of design β€” whiteboards and spreadsheets are two sides of the same coin πŸͺ™I love teaching and care deeply about developing individual contributors so they can find their voice and build their confidence.

  • Where are you based?

    I’m based in Southern California and collaborate with clients all across the world β€” from South America to Europe, to Australia and Canada. Three emojis to describe the sleepy, historic town I live in: πŸ›–πŸ„πŸ½πŸ€ 

  • Do you offer Reparation Pricing?

    Yes β€” if the majority of your business owners self-identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian and/or a person of color, I provide 10% off all services and products.

    *These reparations are not a scholarship fund and I do not assume that individual BIPOC collaborators lack access to wealth β€” this is being offered in an attempt at integrity and a hope for collective liberation.

  • What is your hourly rate?

    I charge $300 an hour for one-off working sessions, coaching calls, fractional roles, and app/product feedback. If you anticipate needing ongoing support that will last longer than 1 month, I can provide a retainer option which will likely save you some $$$.

  • Do you work with clients in-person?

    I do β€” especially when our work together spans workshop facilitation, production, or speaking engagements. If you anticipate needing some kind of in-person options please don’t hesitate to let me know during our introduction call. Travel, materials, and group size will affect pricing.
