  • Projects don’t come out of nowhere – there is a lot of work that goes into securing the dream projects your firm gets to work on. [Emily] will help designers who are transitioning into positions where they are expected to bring in new work. Business Development skills aren’t always innate, and [Emily] offers helpful strategies to designers who have focused mostly on design in their careers and not so much on strategic relationship building. It shows you that anyone can do business development, and they can do it in their own styLE...

  • Emily played an important role in shaping our early business development foundation. Through thoughtful conversations, she helped us clarify our purpose, values, and how we want to show up as a firm. Her approach encouraged honest reflection and show us how vulnerability can strengthen a business development strategy that feels both authentic and actionable. As a result, we gained clarity, confidence, and a strong framework to support our next phase of growth. She is a valuable resource for design professionals navigating business development with intention.
