If you are struggling with sharing your message, let's talk. I’d be happy to share ideas with you.

All it takes is one conversation and you’ll get four weeks of tailored, ready-to-post content. Think of it as transformative content solutions.

Small business owners – It’s even more important than ever to share your message, to let people know who you are, who you serve, what your values are! If you’re not posting consistently because you don’t know what to say, I’d love to help you with your content creation!

Coaches – Do you have lots of ideas but no time to write about them? If you can talk to me, I can create content for you in your words, in your voice!

Authors – How are you promoting your book on LinkedIn? I’d love to be your content creation partner writer and help you share about you and your book!


You talk…I listen – and I do the writing!

I don't just create content – I help you transform your message into content that engages and inspires.
• Save time and reduce stress with tailored content that's ready to post.
• Share authentic stories that resonate with your audience.
• Create a positive online presence that builds community.

The Brains Behind...

HOW Design Live

I am on the programming team for HOW Design Live and help choose the speakers each year. I am also the host of the Creative Freelancer Summit of www.HowDesignLive.com -- the premier design conference, Sept. 2022. This track began in 2008 as a stand-alone conference where freelancers could learn the business skills they need to run a successful business; it has since evolved to address this question: What does it take to go from designer to creative entrepreneur?

If you are ready to leave the feast or famine syndrome behind -- and I mean for good -- and you are serious about growing your creative business -- whether that means getting more/better clients, finding your niche or strengthening your positioning, I can help. I provide practical guidance, accountability, a sounding board and much more. 

I am a national speaker, the founder of Marketing Mentor, a business coaching program for creative business owners and independent professionals, a Programming Partner for HOW Design Live and the Business Coach for the Savannah College of Art & Design. 

I've developed courses for CreativeLive, Domestika, Freelancers Union, AWAI and more.

I work one-on-one with you to find your people, your voice, your style, your rhythm and your place in the market.

We will cover things like: 
- How to Choose Your Niche
- Dealing with Difficult Clients
- How to Position Your Services (so your ideal clients say, "this is exactly who we need")
- Pricing Your Services (and learning to love the money conversation)
- Proposal Review, Critique and Rewrite (what should be in yours?)
- Marketing Plan Development (which tools are most effective?)
- Content Marketing Planning and Implementation

Evidence proves that if you integrate marketing into your day-to-day process, you can get the clients you want, instead of being at the mercy of whoever comes along. But it means putting yourself first. 

How? Commit to working ON your business before you work IN your business --  early in the day and early in the week. Spend your first 30 minutes every day on yourself, before the day and the week gets away from you. (For more, read my #MeFirst blog post. https://www.marketing-mentor.com/blogs/news/we-need-a-mefirst-movement) 

I’ll help you put yourself first. We'll set realistic goals and I'll keep you accountable for them. 

You lead and I guide. That's my mentoring style. 

I'll help you choose a viable market, position yourself as the expert in that market. Then we'll choose the most effective (and least $$) marketing tools to reach your market.

Sound like exactly what you need? Be sure to sign up for my Quick Tips here:

And, if you are ready, take advantage of my free 30 minute session at www.marketing-mentor.com

Specialties: marketing plans and proposals for creative professionals (designers, writers, illustrators, video producers, photographers) & professional service providers (lawyers, consultants, speaking coaches, personal trainers, computer experts and even other marketing consultants).
