MOTIVATED DESIGN: using psychology in story & design

"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."

NO LONGER JUST A SUPPORTING CHARACTER

Storytelling takes more than just learning techniques,
it takes vulnerability.
‍
Mastery takes time.
‍
Sharing the results takes bravery.
‍
Navigating the journey when your insecurities rise up along the way takes commitment.
‍
‍

And you’re ready to commit to yourself. Step by step, question by question, we will discover and explore your story. Week by week, I’ll equip you with tools and mindset shifts to help you combat the roadblocks along the way.

I’ve always had a fascination with stories, whether it was the history of an intriguing antique, location, or garment...or the story of how a person faced a challenge in their life.

And the curiosity has only got “worse” ;)

The more power I find in telling in my own story, the more I realize that everyone has a story to tell, big or small. Each with the possibility of transforming the way we all see the world.

So get ready for TONS of questions and lots of investment in helping you express your unique point of view.

I’ll take your questions and transform
them into tools!
