Headshots are out. It’s all about cave shots now.
Well, Hello. I’m Kate O’Brien.
Since 2014 I have been working with bright, curious creators who struggle to do the things that seem easy for others.
I am a (mostly former) freelance designer turned coach and strategist. I am fascinated by the intersection of productivity and creativity and I know personally how good systems and the right help can be a blessing for creative output. I work with artists, writers, coaches, designers, comedians, filmmakers, foodies, musicians, freelancers, and other passionate misfits on how time management, self-advocacy, finance(!), strategy, relationships, and emotions can learn to play nicely together in the service of life and work. I am also a super-curious polymath, an autodidact and, a dork who loves an oxford comma.
I create a safe space for my clients to question their inner critics, destigmatize their differences, grow their businesses, and celebrate their unique and much-needed gifts. In our work together we get clear on where to focus energy and when; how to let go of what isn’t working; the why and how of defining business processes; and ways to fuel up one’s tanks while balancing life and creative work. I specialize in helping people with ADHD or LD define success on their own terms so that they can experiment with strategies to intentionally design a life and career that plays to their strengths.
