Level Up Your Craft: Creative Mentoring & Chainmaille Jewelry Instruction
Why work with me?
Why work with me?
When you book a session, you’re tapping into more than 20 years of "in-the-trenches" experience. My goal is to help you skip the years of trial-and-error I went through while building a creative life that actually works.
I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of students master their craft, selling tens of thousands of tutorials, and placing my jewelry line in 40+ galleries and museum shops nationwide.
But I also understand the "messy middle" because I’ve lived it. I have scaled a brand to 7-figures with national distribution, and I’ve also navigated the heavy fog of burnout and debilitating depression. By reinventing my workflow and honoring my own journey with chronic illness, I rebuilt a thriving 6-figure business that fits my life—not the other way around.
Whether we’re discussing business systems or technical weaves, I offer a perspective that is both ambitious and realistic. I know that "just putting yourself out there" isn't always easy, so I provide actionable tips that respect exactly where you are today.

- Weaving: Troubleshoot a tricky part of a weave, get help bringing a design to an elegant finish, or learn an entire weave.
With the exception of a few introductory weaves, there is a 60-min minimum for learning chainmaille weaves from start to finish. Additionally, I know many weaves, but not all of them, so feel free to check in first to make sure I'll be able to help. Note that I only teach other designers' patterns if you obtain their explicit permission. - Color Theory: Use my signature approach to build palettes that pop.
- Product Offerings: Let's evaluate your Etsy shop or shopify website. We'll look at SEO/AIO, photography, and the "perceived value" that turns browsers into buyers.
- Teaching & Tutorials: Want to sell PDFs or teach in-person? I’ll help you get your instructional business off the ground or troubleshoot specific teaching scenarios.
- Habit Hacking & Goal-Getting: I parse the cognitive neuroscience and self-help books (I read a lot!) so you don't have to! We’ll find routines that work with your brain, especially if you're navigating health or life challenges—realities I understand intimately and navigate daily.
- Business Growth: Ready to scale? Let’s talk about setting up systems, hiring your first employee, or getting your work into retail shops.
To ensure every client gets my full focus, I only accept a limited number of sessions each month. Availability varies by season and my current project load.
- If sessions are currently available: I recommend booking now to secure your spot. Sessions can be accommodated on any day of the week, typically between 9 am and 8 pm PT.
- If sessions show as "Sold Out": Don't worry! You can message me to be added to the waitlist and be first to know when my calendar opens up again.
Stop second-guessing and start creating with confidence.
You've likely been there: staring at a weave that won't click, an artisan website with few sales, or a business goal that feels unattainable. Often, the only thing standing between you and your next breakthrough is a bit of outside perspective.
After years of students asking for more personalized time to troubleshoot their unique hurdles, I’ve opened up these 1-on-1 sessions to help you find your focus and get back to the joy of making.
Whether you’re wrestling with a complex weave, wondering what to do with a random assortment of jump rings, or trying to build an artisan business—I’m here to provide an expert perspective, a strategic roadmap, and the encouragement you need to take the next step.

- The Quick Link - 30 min: The "I’m stuck" session. Best for troubleshooting a specific weave step, color palette guidance, a product listing critique, or a brief business brainstorm.
- The Solid Connection - 60 min: Best for conducting in-depth shop audits (Etsy/Shopify), learning a full chainmaille weave, or exploring the nitty-gritty of a strategic business pivot or roadblock.
- The Master Assembly - 3 x 60 min sessions (save $30): This package allows us to tackle multiple projects or go deep where you need help the most—giving you time to reflect and implement between sessions. Best for learning several weaves over time, in-depth business consulting (consignment, systems, hiring), or a total shop overhaul.
