Dear women of color Creatives*,

*(artists, writers, makers, entrepreneurs, and the creatively curious) 

It’s time you honor your sacred calling to the creative life! No more playing it small! 

As a fellow creative, I know how frustrating it can be to feel stuck with your creativity. Whether you are a creative professional or simply like to create for yourself, creating is an essential part of your identity, emotional wellbeing, and life purpose. 

So, it makes sense that when your creativity feels stifled, you feel stifled. 

Perhaps you’ve been away from art making or creating anything at all for a few days, months, or even years.

Maybe you feel like somehow you “lost” your creative magic. 

  • You struggle to feel inspired and think you have no more great creative ideas left in you. 

  • Think that no “serious” or “real” creative person should struggle with feeling stuck. 

Well, let me let you in on a secret, you’re not crazy, you’re just creative! 

Feeling stuck coming up with creative ideas is normal. This is part of the process of creating anything. Especially after taking a long break, being out of practice, or feeling burned out. 

The good news are that:

  • Getting back into creating is absolutely possible. 

  • Creative blocks can be an incredible opportunity for your own personal growth and self-discovery. 

  • Getting back into creating doesn’t have to be hard, you don’t have to go at it alone. 

Let me guide you through the process of taking back your creative power and reclaiming your creative voice through therapeutic art making, strategic planning, and gentle but encouraging guidance. 

Here are some qualities that make me a great creativity coach: 

  • I have a BA in Studio Art with an emphasis in Graphic Design from California State University, Long Beach. 

  • I have 10+ years of working experience as creative professional.  

  • My experience includes the commercial side of creativity as a graphic designer, art director, and illustrator. 

  • I also have a lifetime of experience of creating for therapeutic and self-care purposes.

  • I’m a lifelong learner, deep diver, and passionate about all things creative—life, process, and personality. 

  • I’m deeply committed to serving the creative community, particularly historically marginalized groups like women of color creatives, first gen, immigrants, highly sensitive, and empathic people. 

In my work with clients, I talk a lot about building a creative life aligned to our personal values and own definition of success. Here are the values that inspire my coaching practice and work: 

  • Creativity - Cultivating and fostering the creative potential in myself and others.

  • Freedom - Sovereignty to live a life according to our highest potential, our natural gifts, and where all our needs are taken care of with ease.

  • Growth & Learning - Actively gaining more skills, understanding, and being open to new ways of doing things. 

  • Community - Building and growing alongside those with shared values and interests.

  • Higher Consciousness - Elevating the world's consciousness through the power of creativity. 

  • Collective Liberation - Actively building a more just, equitable, and kind world in balance with the earth and all sentient beings. A world where everyone is safe, has access to resources, and can thrive as their true authentic selves.

Let’s work together and finally start creating the work you have been dreaming of! I invite you to reach out or book a Discovery Call so we can kickstart your journey back to creating with ease, joy, and confidence! 

I’m so excited to meet you!
