Why Me

I’ve spent over a decade navigating the realities of life as a working illustrator—building a career across editorial, publishing, and commercial platforms while raising a child, teaching, and mentoring dozens of artists along the way.

I know how isolating this path can be—and how transformative it is to have someone in your corner. Someone who gets the creative blocks and the business side. Someone who listens deeply, offers honest feedback, and helps you see what’s possible when you treat your creative life as something worthy of structure and investment.

That’s what this mentorship is for: to help you make powerful work—and build a practice that holds you, not drains you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between this and the Compass mentorship?
The Illustrator Compass is a short-term, focused mentorship to help you move forward with clarity. The Illustrator’s Bloom is a deeper, long-term container for transformation—more sessions, more strategy, more support. It’s ideal if you’re navigating a bigger transition or want sustained accountability across multiple goals.

Do I have to commit to weekly sessions?
Not at all. Sessions can be weekly or biweekly, depending on your schedule and how you like to process and apply feedback. We’ll find a rhythm that works for you.

What kind of artists is this best for?
This is designed for illustrators (or multidisciplinary visual artists) ready to invest in their growth. Whether you’re building a business, refining your voice, entering new markets, or restructuring your practice, we’ll create a path rooted in your unique goals.

What kind of support do I get between sessions?
You’ll have unlimited email access for quick check-ins, in-progress feedback, or unexpected roadblocks. This isn’t just a once-a-week Zoom—it’s a full support structure for your creative momentum.

What if I want to continue after 3 months?
If we’ve built a strong rhythm and you’d like to continue, we can explore a lighter ongoing mentorship or adjust the structure to match your evolving needs.

Still deciding which mentorship is right for you?
I’m happy to help you find the best fit based on your creative goals and where you are in your journey.
