About the Studio Source
The word “marketing” has corporate baggage. For many, it conjures up images of billboards, TV ads, slick and expensive catalogues and flyers. But that’s not what marketing is.
Marketing is a process.
Creative marketing and personal branding are the ways you define yourself and your work. You create a message to give to your customers that tells them what you’re about. Something memorable.
It doesn’t have to be big and fancy. It just needs to be real.
The Studio Source is for people who sell what they create. The focus is on how you approach your business. It’s about being authentic, professional and committed without sacrificing your sanity or sense of humour.
So who am I?
I’m an artist, writer, and fan of ideas big and small. I enjoy wrestling creative challenges into submission, dismantling mental roadblocks and helping people remember why they get jazzed about their work.
In addition to a degree in Fine Arts from NSCAD University, studied graphic arts  at community college, spent a year in Technical Theatre at Dalhousie University, and have a certificate in IT from a private, post-graduate training institution.
I’m a seasoned micro-business owner. I know how to sell the stuff I make, and I know the other side of the artistic fence—I participated in a number of group exhibitions, one at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia during the 1990’s.
Suggestions and questions are welcome. Thanks for dropping in.
