Imagine a story about a compelling protagonist with a message that resonates...written by you
REWRITE YOUR NARRATIVE
CHANGE THE WORLD
By telling a story of how you became the awesome person you are today.
Learning to be the protagonist in my life has been my biggest challenge. I pushed myself into the background again and again, making all the mistakes as I tried to conquer my passivity and get my life in order. Each day I learned to face my fears with a little more patience and courage...but when I taught myself how to transform my own emotional journeys into fictional narratives, I ended up with a badass set of tools that have helped me face my challenges in both life and work.
Not to mention resulting in a story I was passionate about, and confidence that I could create something that could have real impact on the world.

I'm here to
help you do
the same.
Your journey, strengths, and weaknesses are unique to you, and as you clarify your story it can serve to reveal a void that your story or talents can fill. By using psychology tools and strong design principles, we can give you a strong foundation to articulate your vision and fill that void.
When my passion for identity narrative and love of design revealed a void in costume design education in animation, I gathered a team and filled it by creating a BOOK

"Besides giving us an incredibly rare content with academic quality, Jessie’s mentorship took me on a personal and creative journey beyond my every expectations. As intended from the beginning, I ended these 12 weeks with a well developed original story and costume concepts for my portfolio, but we did so much more than that! I also learned many creative strategies for brainstorming, exploring ideas, and a hardly ever present self-compassionate approach during the creative process."
Drawing from Hollywood story structures and Enneagram archetypes,
I'll guide you through the tools and processes I use to achieve creative flow.
