work with me
I help creative entrepreneurs be seen — and feel seen — for who they are and what they do best.
Internet-ing right now is hard. It’s the wild west man, and we’re all fighting for our lives out here. AND it’s even harder to navigate as a business owner. Geesh.
Being a creative entrepreneur is a whole thing — and I get that more than most. It's a lot to navigate.
Thankfully, in the immortal words of Mrs. Doubtfire, "help is on the wayyyyy!" I'll sort it all out with you and get you moving with more ease, more clarity, and dare I say, more
(shipley)style. Wink, wink.
I’ve kinda done it all and have 17+ years of entrepreneurship under my belt and various areas of expertise. Oh the hats I have worn … as the co-founder (and former COO and co-CEO) of the industry-leading and wildly successful 7-figure brand, Tonic Site Shop, I bring a wealth of experience and insight to the table. Whether it's pioneering innovative strategies or crafting captivating visuals, my expertise ensures that your project not only meets but exceeds your expectations.
I’m very much in the business of helping people do what they love and make a handsome living while they are at it. So if there’s something I can help get off the ground, or take to the next level, or re-tool and re-work either visually or operationally, I’m your guy. Here to be your co-creator, launch wingman, business bestie, shot-gun rider, baby till the day I die … (oh wait, that’s a Beyoncé song, my bad!)
ON the MENU
I love nothing more than creating beautiful, meaningful things with people who are passionate about their craft — and I can't wait to begin a conversation with you about how we might make the space needed for you to create what you were actually meant to create. Take a look at a few ways we can work together below.

Design & Creative Direction
This Spring, I've teamed up with my creative (and real life) bestie to offer something we've been dying to do for years now. Say hello to the collab you've been waiting for.

Biz + Creative Consulting
Sometimes you don't need another course or a one-off call — you need someone who's actually been in the trenches to come alongside you and help you figure out what to build, how to build it, and what to do first. Whether it's a specific project, a product launch, or an ongoing creative and strategic partner in your corner — this is that.
Think of it as having a fractional creative director and business strategist in your back pocket. Without the full-time price tag.
Your business bestie
1-on-1 Coaching / Mentoring
Sometimes you just need someone in your corner who gets it — all of it. The creative side, the business side, and the very human side of building something meaningful. Someone you can think out loud with, reality-check your ideas against, and call when you don't know what move to make next. That's this. That's what it feels like to have a guy.
Come for the insights, stay for the jokes
SPEAKING
Turns out that comm studies degree came in handy after all. I speak at in-person and virtual events on topics I actually care about — creativity, website design, customer experience, team building, operations and systems, and personal growth — and I'm not afraid to make it a little fun along the way. Got an event or audience in mind? Let's talk. I'm happy to dig into what you need and put together something that actually lands.

What shall we create together?
Business is a mixed bag, and there’s lots to sort out, tackle, learn, build and do. It’s a lot. Boy, do I get it. It can often be very overwhelming, and we can find ourselves stuck. I’m here to help you make your way.
