- Map the journey
- Iterate and validate
- Kindness throughout
“The Secret : Do Good Work and Share it with People” — Austin Kleon
In my consulting work, I draw inspiration from Austin Kleon’s approach to offer engaging support that fosters team autonomy. The goal is to create conditions where design emerges intentionally, enjoyably, and with the potential for replication.

“First, make it exist
Then, make it good”
Every project begins with a draft. The draft is never perfect. Its role is to serve as a foundation, a stepping stone to a conclusive result.
Through feedback and validation loops, the project develops and takes shape to meet the need.
What type of project can I help you develop?
I can help you with:
- Transforming an idea into a structured project
- Structuring a story
- Unblocking a plot point
- Considering the characters’ likeability
- Developing a narrative universe
- Preparing a grant application
- Clarifying a creative vision
