“I have been working with jewelry artists in the American Craft and Contemporary Art Jewelry traditions for more than twenty-five years. My career has been dedicated to helping artist businesses navigate the terrain and grow their businesses by optimizing strategies aligned with their personal goals. These include: developing voice and brand positioning; product development; activating marketing initiatives. I utilize analytics to frame decision making. And, of course, tons of creative thinking and passion.”
