THE BOLD WORK

Mentorship For Ambitious Creatives

Creating bold, honest work is a revolutionary act

Your Work Deserves Recognition

I’m not going to tell you to believe in yourself. I never say that to clients, to my daughters, to anyone.

 Not because I don’t mean it kindly, but because I think it’s too abstract to be useful.  

As a creative person, you probably already know that your work is important.

The challenge you face isn’t lack of ideas or belief. It’s knowing where to put your energy and focus when you wear so many different hats. You’re a shapeshifter. 

As your mentor I’ll work alongside you  honestly, generously, and with enormous respect for what it takes to create something and put it into the world.

I’ll help you find evidence that the process works. One bold move at a time.

I’ll also ask you to be a little delusional. Not reckless, but the creatives I’ve supported do their most alive work have all learned to act before the confidence fully arrives. I’ll encourage you to reject the invitation to pessimism and take decisive action.

I want to be honest with you about what this isn’t, because I think you deserve that. The online coaching world has a lot of fuckery in it right now. A lot of high-vibe, high-ticket promises that if you just loved yourself enough, did enough inner work, and got your mindset in the right place the success would be inevitable. I don’t believe that and I won’t sell it to you.

Bold, honest creative expression is not a luxury or a personality trait. It’s what you’re here to work on. Your voice in the world matters, and it costs something to keep it hidden. I don’t take it lightly when someone is holding theirs back, even just a bit.

I’m a working creative director, artist and polymath. Right now, actively finishing a book, creating artwork, building businesses. I’m not selling you the idea of a 4-hour-week or a passive income; I’m here to walk by your side while you create a rich creative life worth being obsessed with.

Who this is for

You’re a visionary with a specific project underway. A book, an exhibition, a body of work, a show, a performance, a mission that matters. It doesn’t need to be complete or fully formed, but it needs to exist as a passion. You know what you’re trying to make and why it matters. What you need is someone who has walked this path themselves, who can stand beside you and help you make clearer, bolder decisions about the work.

You’re not looking for permission or a cheerleader. You’re looking for a thinking partner who will help you to further than you’d push it alone.

Who this isn’t for

If you’re still figuring out what direction to go in, this isn’t the right moment for us. I work with people who are ready to move, not people who need months to decide whether they’re ready to move. There’s no judgment in that, but it matters, because the work we do together only works if you’re already in motion.

What we do

Two 60- 90-minute sessions a month. Voice note access between them. The first thing I’ll ask you is what would make our time together genuinely valuable. Then we get to work. You’ll leave each session with tangible steps to take.

Ali is one of the most insightful and intelligent people I know, and working with her has completely changed the way I think about what I do, and what is possible.
Working with Ali has been nothing short of life changing for me, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found her when I did. Under Ali’s guidance I went from barely knowing what I wanted, to having the resolve to create the thriving, thrilling creative life of my dreams in all its complexity and nuance.
