For small teams doing big work and not cutting corners
Creative leadership for teams who want excellence without a full-time hire
✦ Every so often, I share posts like this to highlight the kind of creative leadership work I do with companies in transition. If you're here for poetry or reflective writing, those continue as always. But if you're navigating change and looking for clarity in how your brand shows up, this might speak to you.
Not every team needs a full-time creative director.
But when the stakes are high (launches, rebrands, moments of growth) you still need someone who can lead with vision and execute with precision.
I work with tight-knit teams that are already doing exceptional work. Often it’s a founder, a marketing lead, a project manager, each wearing multiple hats. They care about the details. They’re committed to excellence. But they’re tired of managing disconnected freelancers or trying to hold the creative direction on their own.
That’s where I come in.
As a Fractional Creative Director, I step in to lead where it matters:
shaping the brand story, refining systems, overseeing design, and making sure that what you put out into the world reflects the quality of what you’re building behind the scenes.
And because I lead The Copper Portico, I can also bring in my creative team to handle implementation. That means less time explaining the vision and more time seeing it come to life.
This kind of partnership works best when there’s trust, clear communication, and a shared standard of excellence. I don’t just show up for strategy calls. I stay close to the work. I lead. I manage. I help your team breathe a little easier, knowing the creative is covered.
It’s for brands that want:
premium execution without full-time overhead
visual and verbal alignment across all platforms
a creative partner who can lead from day one
Because when you’re a small team with a big vision, you don’t need more noise.
You need someone who knows what great looks like—and how to get there.
If your team is ready for creative leadership without the hiring headache, I’d love to support you. Book a call to learn more.
