How I Help

I provide creative and agency operations consulting for agency leaders and creative teams who need clearer workflows, stronger decision-making, and scalable execution. My work includes operational audits, process design, role clarity, staffing plans and hiring guidance, and fractional or advisory operations support to help teams grow without slowing creative work.

The goal is not to add more process. The goal is to design operating models that allow teams to move with clarity, stay connected to shared priorities, and execute consistently as expectations rise.

My work focuses on the strategic role operations plays in tying teams together, aligning leadership intent with day-to-day execution, and ensuring creative energy is spent on the work itself rather than navigating friction around it.

Every engagement begins with a focused conversation to understand the context, the pressures at play, and what kind of support will be most useful. From there, I’ll recommend the right engagement model and outline the next steps.

  • A focused, time-bound evaluation of how creative work is currently planned, governed, and executed — designed to surface where systems are helping, where they’re getting in the way, and what needs attention next.

    Often used when:

    • Creative ambition or volume has increased

    • Leadership senses friction but lacks a clear picture of why

    • Teams are working hard, but execution feels uneven or reactive

    What this provides:

    • A clear current-state and future-state view

    • Identification of risks, gaps, and leverage points

    • Prioritized recommendations leaders can act on with confidence

  • Embedded, senior operating leadership to stabilize, scale, or evolve creative environments over time. This is hands-on partnership at the leadership level, not day-to-day project management.

    Often used when:

    • Teams or agencies are growing quickly

    • Complexity has outpaced existing ways of working

    • Leaders need a steady operating presence during transition or change

    Focus areas may include:

    • Operating models and decision frameworks

    • Cross-functional alignment and execution rhythm

    • Leadership visibility, prioritization, and clarity

  • Targeted advisory support during moments when decisions around structure, resourcing, or operating models have long-term implications.

    Often used when:

    • Leaders are making high-stakes decisions that will shape how teams operate

    • The organization is entering a new phase of growth or complexity

    • Alignment is required before committing people, budget, or direction

    This work is centered on clarity — helping leaders think through options, implications, and tradeoffs before moving forward.
