You don’t have to go it alone.

Entrepreneurial coaching

$125 per 1-hour session

If you’re an artist (or a choreographer, actor, writer...) you have a business. Let’s identify your core values and goals and translate those values into a thriving, sustainable business model. 

  • We’ll work together, one-on-one, to articulate what you want to do, how you want to live, and what you need to make it all work. 

  • We’ll identify the people who like what you do (and have the means to pay for it), as well as peers who can help you in your journey.

  • We’ll create a plan to move you forward, into action. Everyone needs an accountability buddy, and I’ll be yours!

NEW CONTENT:
Through a personal interview process I'll ask you what inspires you to make your work. We then craft precise and enticing language to express your unique identity for grants, publicity, and more.

REVIEW, REVISE, REVAMP:
I’ll be your second set of eyes! Together we’ll evaluate your written and visual content for clarity, impact, and personality, and make sure that your written voice matches your work or brand.

I specialize in turning chaos into calm, one client at a time.

  • Allison gave great feedback on how best to prepare, present, and organize my work in a cohesive manner for web presence. Being an interdisciplinary artist herself, she understood my needs as an interdisciplinary artist and helped guide me through the process of developing a clear artist statement- offering insightful tips on ways to gain perspective and talk about one's art. She is incredibly sharp and has the ability to truly listen with a nurturing presence.

  • California artists, creatives, cultural practitioners, and cultural producers, as well as nonprofit arts administrators in San Francisco or San Jose, can apply for up to $600 in Quick Grant funds from the Center for Cultural Innovation to work with me.
