Education & business tools for beauty professionals ready to grow.

​​Here you'll find a curated library of digital tools, courses, resources and coaching designed to help beauty professionals build profitable, sustainable businesses with confidence.  Everything here is rooted in real industry experience and created to support artists and owners who are ready to grow, streamline and elevate the way they work.

The Artist Collective was created out of my desire to help other beauty industry pros to grow (and scale!) profitable, sustainable businesses without burning themselves out.

My goal is simple: raise the standard, share real knowledge, and empower artists to build businesses that actually support their lives. The Artist Collective exists as a space for education, collaboration, and growth and was designed to elevate both individual artists and the industry as a whole. 

​

Through business coaching and digital education, I share everything I've learned in my 20+ years in this industry. This isn't theory. This is the tactical tools and actionable steps I've personally used to scale beyond six figures, get published and win awards.

 

I specifically love working with bridal artists and salon suite owners who are ready to step into ownership with confidence.

​

As a mom of twins, I understand firsthand how important balance is. I’m deeply passionate about helping other entrepreneurs (especially moms!) grow thriving businesses without sacrificing their mental health, their time, or themselves in the process.

My coaching is practical, direct, and rooted in real-world experience.

I don’t teach theory, I teach what I’ve built.

​

With over 20 years in the beauty industry, I’ve scaled a service-based business beyond six figures, built and led a team, and navigated every stage of growth firsthand: from solo artist to CEO with $200k years.

 

No generic frameworks. No fluff. Just clear strategy, honest (but gentle) feedback, and actionable easy steps designed to move your business forward quickly and sustainably.
