Why Does It Always Feel Like This Is on You?
You didn’t set out to micromanage, but without leadership, your team struggles to hit the mark.
Every project feels like it’s on you to refine, redirect, or finish. Deliverables that should feel client-ready end up needing revision after revision. Deadlines creep closer, tensions rise, and you’re left answering client questions or solving problems that shouldn’t exist.
For e-commerce brands, even with marketing teams or freelance designers in place, creative assets can feel disjointed or misaligned with your vision. You’re stuck bridging the gap between what’s delivered and what’s needed, instead of focusing on growing your brand.

Sound familiar? Here’s why:
✔ Deliverables Fall Short: Designs or assets don’t feel polished, aligned, or ready to impress clients, leaving you to step in at the last minute.
✔ No Clear Oversight: Without a dedicated design lead, your team produces work that feels disjointed, despite their talent and effort.
✔ Your Focus Is Stretched: Instead of growing your business or focusing on strategy, you’re stuck reviewing, revising, and bridging the gaps.

The Right Fit for the Right Teams
The Right Fit for the Right Teams
This isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about building a creative team that thrives, delivers, and helps you grow without pulling you into the weeds.
This Is for You If:
You’re leading an agency or e-commerce brand with a creative team that needs stronger direction and alignment.
You’re tired of being the default creative lead, constantly reviewing work, fixing deliverables, and answering client questions.
You value high standards and want your team to deliver polished, impactful work that feels intentional and exceeds expectations.
You’re ready to elevate your team’s output but don’t have the time or expertise to mentor them directly.
You want a trusted design leader who understands strategy, creative execution, and what it takes to deliver exceptional results.
Not a Good Fit If…
You’re looking for one-off fixes or quick design solutions. This service is built for ongoing mentorship and leadership, not short-term projects.
You’re not open to collaboration or feedback. This is a partnership, and the best results come from working together to align on goals.
You prefer to micromanage your team. Creative Leadership Accelerator is about building trust, empowerment, and independence—not adding more layers of control.
Your creative team isn’t ready to grow. If they’re not open to feedback or improving their work, this service won’t have the impact it’s designed to deliver.
The Partner You Didn’t Know You Needed.
The Partner You Didn’t Know You Needed.
Here’s the thing: most agencies, freelancers, or even internal teams can get the job done—designing ads, tweaking visuals, or creating client-facing assets. But they don’t think about how it all connects, aligns, and works together to elevate your business.
That’s where I come in.
With 9 years of design expertise, a formal design degree, and partnerships with industry leaders like Adobe, Dubsado, and Flodesk, I’ve been at the forefront of creating impactful brand experiences. From leading in-person workshops to collaborating with scaling businesses and agencies, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to align creative teams, deliver exceptional work, and exceed expectations.
I see the bigger picture. I step in to bridge the gap between what’s delivered and what’s truly needed—ensuring your team’s creative output aligns with your business goals and scales with intention.
I elevate your team. Whether it’s refining workflows, providing actionable feedback, or guiding creative direction, I ensure every deliverable reflects your standards, builds trust, and drives results.
This isn’t just about managing projects—it’s about giving your team the creative leadership they need to thrive, and giving you the freedom to focus on scaling with confidence.

The Difference a Direction Can Make
Great design doesn’t happen by accident. It’s about taking what’s functional and making it exceptional—whether it’s a planner, a campaign, or a set of marketing assets. Here’s how we turn “almost there” into “exactly what we needed.”

Without Design Leadership
With Design Leadership
Before: Functional, But Not Inspired
Without clear creative direction, designs can feel flat, misaligned, or even “cheap.” The original planner design, for example, lacked cohesion, white space, and the polish needed to position it as a high-end product.
The design felt basic, scaled down, and lacked direction
Misaligned layouts and inconsistent spacing created a sense of imbalance.
The overall look didn’t match the client’s vision or the high-end product they imagined.
