I’m Tori; an extrovert, collaborator, and creative thinker. I’m a good listener and a good question asker. I love taking big ideas and figuring out how to make them happen, one piece at a time.
The work I enjoy the most is project-based. Whether it’s consulting on a creative project, coordinating a workshop, designing a community space, or creating illustrations, business cards, posters, and more. If you’d like to inquire about working with me, please get in touch!
I am currently offering the following creative services:

My favorite work is collaborating on people’s creative ideas, adding to them, bringing them to life, and seeing the magic of creative energy happen! Many of the projects below are collaborations with musicians, mission-driven organizations, and other down-to-earth individuals. I am so excited to keep adding to this ever-growing list. Click on a project below to see more images and read more about the project.
Current Offerings:
Creative Project Consultation:
Whether you need a sounding board for your creative ideas, help brainstorming how to make them happen, or you’re looking for someone to be in the revision and development process with you, I’m here! I love this kind of work. I’ve helped develop music projects, podcasts, pop-up art shows, concerts, exhibition openings, and more. I approach creative project consultation with a lot of curiosity and empathy, two qualities that I believe foster creative openness! I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute introduction call to discuss your creative project to see if we’re a good fit.
Please contact me to inquire.
Project Management:
Do you need help managing your latest project, creative or otherwise? Schedule a free 15-minute introduction call to discuss your project to see if we’re a good fit! Together we will discuss your vision and needs, and most importantly explore how to get your project off the ground. I’ve helped develop workshops, fundraisers, educational trainings, and more. Work I can assist with: identifying goals, creating and communicating timelines, outlining efficient processes, automating what can be automated, finding affordable administrative help, and more.
Please contact me to inquire.
Website Design/Build:
Need a website built, updated, or totally overhauled? I am available for website design and building work. I create your site based on your wants and needs and hand it back to you so you can keep it updated as needed. Work I can assist with: helping you identify the purpose of the site, establishing visual mood, bringing your vision to life, and more.
Please contact me to inquire.
Creative Projects:
This digital space serves as a catalog of my creative work, collaborations, current projects, ideas, dreams, and musings. This is not an exhaustive list, but I am enjoying adding past work intentionally, project by project. This is all a work in progress and is meant to be evolving. This isn’t designed to be a traditional portfolio, but rather a reflection of my creative energy channeled into a variety of projects.
The creative work I do spans from organizing live events to creating visual branding; because of this wide range of work, I’ve added tags to the projects to organize them more specifically. If you’re interested in looking at examples of specific work, using the tags to sort the projects is a nice way to find what you’re looking for. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy perusing through the highlights below and then digging into the catalog!
