My support for the arts is relentless

From an early age, my closest friends have been creative people - painters, singers, writers, fashion designers. Along the way I noticed that artists spend too much time on non-creative tasks, and oftentimes struggled with the business side of their crafts. I watched them attempt to make money from their talent, only to run into a wall for one reason or another. These “right brainers” were hamstrung by matters outside creative. This is when I began to moonlight as an artist’s problem-solver. Eventually, in 2009, I converted my passion for helping artists into Left Brain Power.

Since then, my left brain has served a wide variety of right brains. Two of these partnerships resulted in co-founded businesses: a lucrative web development company and a theater/film production company.

In the world of entertainment, I produced three short films; raising funds, recruiting celebrity talent, hiring crew, managing logistics, creating marketing and social media plans, and handling behind-the-scenes admin (banking, taxes, insurance). On stage, I co-produced one Broadway and two off-Broadway plays and musicals. One of which was a 40-person immersive experience.

The success of Left Brain Power is a testament to the value I bring to creative partnerships, by clearing a path for the artists to do what they do best. It’s a nuanced role that is complex in many ways because ultimately, it’s a job about people, and people are complex. Every artist has a unique set of dreams and abilities. My role is to learn where the challenges are and to cover those areas.

Think of me as your business handyman. I will handle paperwork, draft or edit text, negotiate terms, manage clients, analyze the market, handle banking, design and execute social media, or offer guidance. And at every turn I will be your cheerleader. Together, we can elevate what you create!
