    Personalized poems written in real time on a vintage typewriter. For special occasions that actually feel special. For corporate events that raise morale and keep it raised. For brand activations that get people talking…and Instagramming.

    The Practice

    Guidance counseling for adults with the guidance counselor you wish you’d had. One-on-one sessions that use writing, storytelling and common sense to put the fun back in high-functioning.

    Prints & Commissions

    Art that really speaks to you…or, if it’s a commission, on your behalf. Wedding vows. Speeches. Eulogies. One of a kind gifts for friends, loved ones and clients, guaranteed to inspire all the feels, without any of the work.
