Creative Alchemy
Attuned Collaboration
Every person is different, as is every problem or project. My role is to meet you exactly where you are, and help move you towards the realization and expansion of your creative potential.
For some, that means opening up the creative portal, helping to develop a sense of creative confidence and intention.
For others, I operate as a brainstorming partner, generating ideas and refining purpose.
I’ve worked with established artists, filmmakers, business owners, and therapists to help clarify their vision, creating systems around workflow and organization, as well as serving as a thought partner in decision-making and project completion.
I can come in at any stage of a project and help strategize how and where to focus attention and energy.
I can support you in doing the work, acting as a double and accountability partner, or I can assist with the work itself.
I’ve helped individuals create dedicated creative work spaces and studios, write and edit grants, develop residencies, re-establish creative practice, and move through creative impasses on large-scale projects. I love to give feedback, share ideas, and help make material the things that have only lived in your head or beyond your reach.
From my clients…
“With Belle’s assistance, I became a finalist for the Port of Portland’s Public Art Program. I was able to reflect on the work I do and tell a story that fit perfectly with the specifics of the request. Surprisingly, that reflection and reframing of my creative process still resonates in my work.”
-A.S., Painter
“Belle has brought a compassionate butterfly net to our creative collaboration work together. She's supported me in collecting my thoughts and dreams, discerning what's for now and what's for later, and organizing big concepts into achievable next steps. Together we've been able to birth things into the world that I never would have been able to do on my own. And, as if that's not enough, it's always been fun as well."
-A.P., Transformational Guide
“I had a lot of ideas and themes swimming around in the early stages of a big project, and working with Belle helped me find a shape for them and craft the right direction forward.”
-A.H., Documentary Filmmaker
