CONSULTING
Audits, coaching, and fractional leadership for studios and teams.
I help studios and producers avoid costly mistakes by building production systems that scale.
Whether you're managing a AAA title or a producer on a single team, I offer coaching, training, and consulting to help you reduce risk and increase delivery confidence.
WORKSHOPS & CORPORATE TRAINING
Interactive workshops and custom training for your development teams as well as your Leadership Team.
Sometimes, all it takes is a powerful workshop to unlock momentum.
My training sessions combine hands-on expertise, storytelling, and proven frameworks to elevate your team’s skills. All sessions are remote-first, interactive, and outcome-driven.
MENTORING FOR PRODUCERS & LEADERS
Sometimes you don’t need a course - you need someone who’s been there.
I offer personal mentoring for those navigating the challenges of game development leadership, from imposter syndrome to managing burnout, team dynamics, or preparing for promotion.
Aimed at what you need at the pace best for you.
