I’m a visionary coach, artist, and community builder dedicated to helping creative professionals break free from perfectionism, fear, and overthinking. With a background in computer science and fine art—and experience founding multiple organizations—I’ve spent my life navigating the messy, unpredictable nature of creativity. Through my coaching methodology, Make a Mess, I empower ambitious artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators to embrace the chaos of creation. Because true growth and success don’t come from getting it perfect; they come from getting started.

My journey has been anything but linear. Growing up in an emotionally chaotic environment, I learned early on how to adapt, build, and reinvent myself. Managing undiagnosed—and later diagnosed—ADHD and CPTSD, I turned what once felt like weaknesses into my greatest strengths. I’ve experienced soaring successes and devastating failures, forcing me to rebuild from the ground up.

I challenge the illusion that creativity should be clean and controlled. Instead, I teach that failure isn’t just an obstacle—it’s a requirement. My structured approach to engineering and learning from failure helps creatives stop overthinking, start experimenting, and take decisive action in their work and lives. By embracing imperfection, breaking free from limiting beliefs, and emerging stronger with each iteration, my clients don’t just create—they evolve.

But my work is more than a framework; it’s a way of life. I know firsthand what it means to feel stuck, to question my path, and to fear the unknown. But I also know the power of community, self-trust, and taking that next messy step forward. My mission is to help others do the same—because creativity isn’t about waiting for the right conditions. It’s about making a mess and building something extraordinary from it.
