I help big ideas survive the chaos

MINI BIO

My WINDING PATH

Hi, I’m Lizzy.
For decades, I’ve helped ideas survive the chaos as a creative strategist, systems thinker, team builder, and intuitive, detail-respecting decision-maker.

I’ve scaled agencies, grown startups, built revenue machines, and coached ICs, managers, & business owners through overwhelm, indecision, burnout, and all-around stuckness. These days, I design tools and frameworks that help people move forward with clarity and courage, whether they’re a business-of-one or a whole org.

WHAT I BELIEVE

A MANIFESTO OF SORTS

This isn’t just about business. It’s personal. And messy. And excitingly doable.

  • Creative people work differently — and that’s not a weakness

  • You don’t need a total reinvention. You need the right system

  • Structure doesn’t kill creativity. Done right, it unlocks it

  • The way we move through time shapes our impact

  • Truth-telling is a productivity strategy

WHAT I'm working on

MY TIME IS EVERYTHING

Right now, I’m making things that cut through the –blaring– noise.
First up: No Cowards Allowed:  a journal for people who are done avoiding their deepest truths. Next: a card deck built to pry open stuck conversations and make clarity unavoidable.

After years of working with brilliant, scrappy women-led businesses, I’m shifting my focus back toward larger, mission-driven orgs. Today's stakes are too high for business-as-usual. I want to be in the room where big, messy, urgent work is happening, and, where systems need to rise to meet it.

I take on a limited number of long-term partnerships, especially when the work is meaningful and the mission has teeth.

A FEW UNFILTERED FACTS

authentically speaking

Lizzy is someone who:

  • Thinks most productivity advice is wildly unhelpful

  • Once built a cross-functional system on a scratchpad that ran a team of 12

  • Believes most “best practices” are bad habits in disguise

  • Has a soft spot for rebel thinkers & a sharp eye for what’s broken

  • Likes felt-tip pens, strong opinions, and coffee, iced

What next?

Since you're here, let's connect! Just click below. Not sure what you need yet? That’s okay too. I’m good at helping people figure it out. I hope to hear from you!

Ideas need structure. Strategy needs soul.
Systems are where the two come alive.

DO THE WORKBRING ME IN

READY WHEN YOU ARE


I don’t send emails just to stay in your inbox. Or to weekly sales pitch you.
I send them when there’s a tool to share, a shift worth naming, or a story that helps you work better and feel more like yourself.

If that sounds like your kind of signal, you know what to do.
