You’re amazing at your craft. But the business side? That’s a different story.

You’ve built a studio that does exceptional work, but behind the scenes, things aren’t keeping pace.

  • Proposals are a scramble
  • Pricing still feels like a guess
  • Referrals have slowed and leads feel unpredictable
  • You can position your clients but not yourself
  • You’re doing great work, but the business isn’t delivering what it should

You don’t need to live with anxiety about what will or won’t move the needle. You need clarity, structure, and a strategy that actually fits how you work.

Hi, I’m Clint. I’ve been where you are.

For over 20 years, I’ve worked in all aspects the design world. Designer, account manager, ops, sales, agency owner. I learned the hard way what works (and more importantly) what doesn’t when it comes to running a creative business.

Now, I help small studios quickly get clear on what they do, what they’re worth, and how to grow with purpose. This isn’t theoretical. It’s focused, actionable strategy that helps you move.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Without strategy, clear positioning and pricing, even the greatest studios will stall out. Let me help you shift from reactive to intentional. Once that happens, everything changes. Clients get better, proposals get easier, and your confidence catches up with your talent. Oh, and you’ll have enough profit to do the things that you really want to do.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time, this is it.

Framing out the UVP was huge. I’ve hired other people who I thought were like me, but their work stayed surface level. Clint got underneath all that. He understood my business right away and gave me next steps that actually made sense. You need someone that understands the industry, your vision, and can get right to the point of what you need to be working on.

I was struggling to see the bigger picture. Clint helped me focus on the right clients and define my market position, and I took action immediately. The value statement gave me words I hadn’t found before. The Executive Summary laid out next steps that felt right on par with where I’m headed. Clint is super easy to talk to, and we had a great connection. He got it right away and understood my vision completely.
