Services For Entrepreneurs
I help artisans evolve into entrepreneurs. The artisan sector (AKA Artisan Economy) is the second-largest employer and one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the developing world. Businesses in this sector create products from a driving purpose and services defined by human connection.
My work with entrepreneurs is a framework to evolve your artisanship into entrepreneurship. It’s one that allows entrepreneurs to build confidence in their business acumen while keeping the soul of your artisanship alive.
The work I do harvests and activates the driving principles of your belief-driven business while building the practical tools and skills for your business to take root and flourish. I guide entrepreneurs through a journey to successfully grow your business, whether that means evolving your creative business from a maker to leader, launching a tech start-up, or expanding your artisan products into world-class brands.
