Are We a Good Fit?

I wrote this with the intention of making it very easy for you to decide if you are interested in working with me (or not). Also, I’m fortunate enough to be choosy about whom I work with so my hope is that this information communicates clearly who I like to work with. I hope it’s you! =]

You

Self-aware
You know yourself fairly well. Perhaps (like most of us) you’ve been through some tough times or lots of therapy (like me!) and you’ve come out on the other side with some personal awareness and/or a spiritual practice that informs your relationships and intentions.

Project Clarity and Goals
If you’re not clear on your biz purpose or what you want, the best starting point is a consultation rather than a full project design. That way we can sort out what the best direction is for you. Without that clarity on the front end, projects can get muddy in-process.

You are looking to sincerely connect with potential clients, to offer them products/services/information that are of generous value and to build a community that includes and benefits them.

Reasonable Timeline and Budget
It takes time to create a thoughtful, attractive and high-functioning design. You are ready to invest in my services and desire a fair and honorable exchange of services for money. This allows me to provide you with intense, collaborative, and generous service.

Participate
You are willing to participate in the give/take of feedback necessary to the creative process and are able to give me the creative freedom to take your feedback and move forward. You do your homework (yes, there’s homework!) and keep up your end of the bargain.

Willing to Learn
You are curious and willing to learn. This doesn’t mean you have to be a tech expert. You may even be nervous about technology in general or uncomfortable with the ever burgeoning world of blogs, websites and social media? That’s ok. We’ll walk through this together, in a gentle learning process.

Entrepreneur, Small Biz, Individual
I specialize in working with individuals and small business owners. I’m a one-person team.

Courteous, Mindful, Maybe Even Quirky?
I’m nice. You’re nice too. And like most of my clients (and friends) you’re thoughtful, mindful of your presence and impact on the world and those around you, have a sense of humor and are maybe even a little quirky. I know I definitely have a bit of quirk, and I love it in others too!

Me

My Job
I help you create a presence that speaks to the beauty and essence of your business, clearly communicates your offerings, and actively serves your business goals. My job is to be a source of support, direction, light-heartedness and education as we move through this process. If I don’t think I am the best fit for you or your project, I will let you know up front (and if possible, refer you to someone who may be a better fit).

Professional
I am responsive and accountable, I will let you know where your project stands and how we can stay in touch. I actively pursue giving you a sense of autonomy and direct access to your project. I work in an integrity based process. I am clear about what I am offering you and what I expect in return. I will give you my honest opinion, even if it disagrees with yours.

Calm, Soothing, Gentle
I’ve been told more than a handful of times that I have a calming and soothing effect on people. If you’re looking for a whippersnapper or 24/7 type, I may not be for you. I’m easygoing, thoughtful and gentle. On the flip side, I am also straightforward, sincere and well-boundaried. My goal is to be in balance with being of service to you and taking good care of myself.

Intuitive, Creative, Artistic
I’m an artist at heart. I have a deep intuitive creative process. What the heck does that mean, you ask?!? This means that when I am visioning/creating, my process is informed by my knowledge of you and a meditative/universal input that often times lifts the resulting design beyond my conscious intention to a higher level of beauty, communication and spirit.

Flexible
Life happens. Tragedy, celebration, mistakes, process, personality, and human-ness at its finest. All of these and more can affect our work together, on either of our parts. I am flexible and easygoing, we can always revise timelines, change our minds and come up with creative solutions to problems that may arise. Let’s talk and we’ll work it out.

Yes, yes, yes, I want more! What Next?
