My Background
I’m an artist, teacher, business coach, founder of Studio 4 Art, Do ART! studios, and Marin Pottery and co-founder of Creative Catalyst Camp.
My entrepreneurial journey in children's art education spans two decades, starting from a modest garage setup and expanding into afterschool enrichment classes, partnerships with recreational centers, a traveling art studio, and ownership of multiple brick-and-mortar locations.

My path reflects gradual, diverse, and organic growth through which I have honed a unique approach to mentorship and coaching, focusing on transitioning businesses to quick profitability while maintaining joy and sustainability. My experience has shaped a company culture centered on compassion, fostering creativity, building community, amplifying the voices of young artists, and integrating strategic business expertise.
Wherever you are in the process, I’ve been there. After 20 years of running art studios, through various stages of growth and economic times, I get your struggles. I am here to listen, to observe, and to support you with mentorship and strategies for sustainable growth, while you continue to make a meaningful impact in your life and your community.
