oh hello!
My name is Jill and I am a creator, performing artist, business badass, and all-round adventurer through this wild life.
​
I am an award-winning playwright, performer and educator - I make this statement only to bring attention to the fact that I *understand the process of creating and performing*. It is a lot of energy, a lot of actual blood, sweat and tears, and so many hats. Many artists are absolutely terrified of social media, marketing and communications, and with good reason, it's a bit of a monster. So what's the missing link here? As an artist, your job is your art and all the incredible challenges and work that entails - and it's a full-time job. Also - as an artist - money is, well, how do we say, not *exactly* as bounteous as one might like. Without the ability, or desire, to hire someone for this work, the solution is learning how to do this for yourself. The Artist *and* The Entrepreneur. Sound overwhelming? Don't worry, I got you! As an ARTrepreneur, you have the confidence and skills to implement strategies that will radically transform your life, create and maintain your online presence and digital branding, and free you from your business burdens and all that "shoulding". Sound good? I thought it might.
​​
Whether you're looking for a business bootcamp to up your game; acquire some press for your newest show; get a handle on your social media presence; build your digital brand completely from scratch; or just want to have someone help you navigate the minefields, I'm your gal.
But you don't have to take my word for it - I've got some very nice (and very successful!) people in my corner. Check out the testimonials below to hear what some of my clients and previous workshop participants have to say!

Jill is one of the most inspirational artist-entrepreneurs in town. Not only does she create her own impactful work, but she also dedicates herself to helping others realize their dreams.
Through her ARTrepreneur workshop, I was reminded of the power I hold as a creator. She inspired me to recognize my skills and put them out into the world without shame or guilt.
If you ever get the chance to work with or learn from Jill, take it. She’s a powerhouse who will leave you feeling empowered, inspired, and ready to do more for yourself and your art.

COPYWRITING

Copywriting is not only an extension of your work, or a marketing tool; it is what will help deeply connect you to your audience, which builds the foundation to allow you to grow community and establish your brand awareness.
PRESS

SOCIAL MEDIA
The worst. It is. Look, I'm not going to avoid that. The minefield of Social Media is something which seems like a neverending and ever-evolving task, that is the Achille's heel for some of the most successful artists (and brands). Success in the social media realm really comes down to the necessity in today's digital landscape to be less playbook, more playful.
Your social media is the audiences window to a more personal digital reflection of your work and your life. It allows your followers to connect on a deeper level than your website, or through your advertising and brand messaging. To win at the Social game you must be personal and allow your posts to be authentic and engaging. Honestly, it's less complicated than you think. Let me show you, and cure you of your social mediaaaaaargh fear.
