Making something that really matters to you is full of ups and downs. We help creative founders balance the needs of their creativity with the asks of the real world. We practice:
Building a portfolio life that supports your creative rhythm
Clarifying what your project needs to grow
Going to market, especially when it freaks us out
Leaning on other creative founders for advice, guidance, and feedback

Our method isn’t about productivity hacks or rigid routines. It’s about agreeing to playful constraints that channel big creative energies in surprising, delightful ways. It’s about making your creative life feel fun and sustainable.

Kristen and Dave have an extra-ordinary gift for turning the chaos in your mind into clear, sometimes poetic thoughts. They’re fully present when they listen — you feel truly heard, and what you share feels important. When they work their magic together, you walk away feeling empowered, energized, and grateful to have crossed paths with them, even if only for an hour.

Dave & Kristen provide encouragement & space to give young ideas the room to grow. They were the first people I brought my work to when I needed a playground to safely kick the tires. They're serious about play.
