IF YOU:

  • Are carrying a long-form project—a book, an album, a show—and feel unsure how to move it from idea to completion

  • Have limited time but want to make serious progress

  • Feel torn between paid work, passion work, and home life

  • Get inspired in bursts and struggle to sustain momentum

You're not lacking talent.

You're not lacking discipline.

You need a plan strong enough—and a partnership steady enough—to hold the full weight of your ambition.

HEY, ARTIST.

I'm Lauren.

I believe two things down to my bones:
 

  • What you're making matters.

  • Big, creative work happens through small, deliberate steps.

​

You may not fully identify as an "artist" yet—or feel like someone who gets to claim this kind of work. But if you're here, you feel the call to create. And it's time to answer.

​

Easier said than done, right? You have a career, responsibilities...a life already in motion.​ So your dream lives in drafts. In notes. In the cracks between other things.

 

​But it's hard to move forward this wayAmbitious, long-form work requires endurance and stewardship—and most artists are trying to do it alone. Spiraling. Stalling. Soul-sick.

 

That's not how we do it here.

 

We follow the creative spark without burning down the house.

​

I'm with you through the full creative process, from start to finish. We move at a pace your life can hold, and we stay until the work is done.​

​

If you've been circling the same project for months (or years), it's time.

 

Let's bring it to life.

In your corner,​​

Something ignited in me… Lauren helped me go from feeling scattered and doubting myself to getting super clear on my goals and trusting my intuition…finally building a consistent art practice that sticks. I couldn’t have done it without her.

Before working with Lauren, I felt stuck in this daily tug-of-war between my art, my corporate career, and my two-year-old daughter. Lauren helped me embrace my different roles and weave them together. Now I feel whole, at peace, and totally empowered.

Since coaching with Lauren, I’m much more aware of what’s been blocking my creativity. She is so encouraging, compassionate, and positive. I felt comfortable with her right away, and she made the hard work fun.
