Creativity is to look at a hot dog but see an ice cream.

Creative Freedom

It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes, if you make something ugly, or if you lack confidence at times; when you stop putting limits on your creativity, you can do and create whatever you want.

Like most creatives, I’ve sometimes felt lost. I felt pressured, struggled with my creative identity, questioned my skills, went down the same creative idea paths, or compared myself to others and their careers. Today my teaching and coaching is focused on changing that - helping people find their own unique creative brand and voice within their industry. I help identify your strengths and skills, and how you can create and communicate them so your audience sees them too, whether that means companies, clients, agencies, customers, dogs, studios, schools, or anyone else.   

I believe that the best fuels for creativity are trust and lust. The lust can make you stay up all night forgetting to eat and sleep due to excitement. And trust comes from letting your ideas or work come into being without judging them too quickly or shutting them down. My goal is to help you find your creative freedom.

Push creative limits, and break them apart

Limit your limitations.

About me

With over 15 years of experience in the advertising industry, I’ve had the privilege of working in both agency settings and educational institutions. My journey began as an Art Director at advertising agencies. Today, I’ve transitioned into a role as a creative coach, dedicating my time to tutoring and mentoring creatives and students, as well as teaching classes and creative workshops at advertising and design schools.

Besides coaching and educating, I live in NJ with my husband, two daughters, and our spoiled spotted dog. Lately, I have faced all my fears and done stuff I love, I got my first driver’s license and create pottery - things I always dreamed of doing but hesitated because I thought I might fail.
