just the two of us

Support that fits your pace

Portfolio reviews, business coaching, or ongoing support, whatever level of guidance you need right now. From a single session to working through something specific, to ongoing coaching if you want someone in your corner for longer. Let's figure out what fits.

HOW I work 1 on 1 with artists

I teach what I know.

I won't tell you exactly where this will take you, nobody can. What I can do is give you the tools, the honest version of my own path, and the support to build something that's actually yours.

1:1 Coaching (one-off)

These sessions are for anyone with a keen interest in illustration and/or surface pattern design, who aspire to enhance their marketability, capitalise on their creative abilities and turn their passion into a thriving business. This includes seasoned professionals within the realm of illustration, aiming to refine their artistic style, explore novel avenues for revenue generation, or gain fresh insights from diverse perspectives.

Here’s what you can expect:

Strategy: clear goals, your ideal clients, and a plan to get there

Finding clients: how to identify the right fit for your style and approach them with confidence

Outreach: proposals and messages that actually get read

Business essentials: pricing, finances, the practical side most artists skip

A personalised plan: built around your style and where you want to go

My goal is for you to leave with clarity, a plan, and more confidence in your own work.

LENGTH: 1 HOUR
PRICE: $165 USD

Ongoing Coaching

COMING SOON - REGISTER YOUR INTEREST

Sometimes you don't need another course, you need someone in your corner for a few weeks, working through your specific blocker with you.

This is five weeks, one on one, just you and me. We start with a call to figure out exactly what's holding you back, then build a plan around it, whether that's your portfolio, your pitching, or your next step in licensing. Weekly calls, support in between, and a clear outcome by the end.

I only take one client at a time, so there's a short chat first to make sure it's the right fit.

- free chat to see if this is the right path

- Kickoff call to map the plan

- 4 weekly 1:1 sessions

- Support between calls

- One client at a time, full attention

We start with a free 15 minute chat to see if it's a good fit. If it is, we get to work.

Starting at $2,400 USD
