I Help Creatives Build Thriving, Purpose-Driven Businesses
I know what it’s like to feel stuck in a soul-crushing job, clinging to creative dreams that never seem to pay off. For years, I struggled as an artist, pouring my heart into my work but barely making sales. I felt trapped, wondering if my creativity would ever lead to the life I imagined.
Then I took a leap — I sold everything I owned, packed a single backpack, and flew to Asia with no plan. That journey changed everything. It wasn’t about finding a perfect opportunity; it was about realizing that the real change starts internally. I learned that to build a meaningful life, you must align your work with your values and turn your creative vision into something people will pay for.
Today, I help creatives like you escape meaningless work and start building businesses that feel authentic, purposeful, and profitable. Whether you’re a multipassionate creator, an artist unsure how to market yourself, or a writer struggling to connect with your audience, I can help you clarify your mission, build a personal brand, and design a business that fits who you are.

A Decade of Creative Exploration
For over a decade, I’ve poured my energy into bold, expressive art — from fluid brushstrokes inspired by Chinese calligraphy and my time in Taiwan to pulsating geometric patterns that explore balance and form. Each piece reflects the raw, shifting inner landscape of what it means to be human — complex, infinite, and alive.
Art is my spiritual practice, and its therapeutic effects are undeniable — creation calms the mind, reveals hidden emotions, and offers a sense of clarity.
If you’re drawn to art that breathes, I invite you to explore my portfolio.
