Mentoring for Creative Professionals
Navigate your day-to-day with kindness and confidence, in yourself and others
Life in a creative, high-pressure environment can feel overwhelming. As your mentor, I help you stay grounded while growing in your role, leading your team, and protecting your own boundaries.
We can work together on things like:
Transitioning from peer to manager without losing authenticity
Inspiring and protecting your team from chaos
Giving and receiving feedback that actually works
Asking for what you need from your company (yes, we can role-play!)
Navigating change, avoiding overpromise traps, and setting clear expectations
Sharing the right level of context with your team — transparency without unnecessary stress
Maintaining balance and sanity in a high-performance environment
You’ll leave our conversations with practical strategies, actionable ideas, and renewed perspective — designed to help you be well, personally and professionally.
Grow, lead, and stay sane with pragmatic guidance from someone who’s been in your shoes.
My online mentoring sessions are 60 minutes long and entirely confidential. You will be able to choose between a one-off, packages, and monthly subscription.
To get started, simply grab some available time on my calendar. I will then send you an intake form to prepare for our free 30-minute conversation.
I am not a licensed therapist, counselor, or medical professional. My guidance comes from life experience, professional mentoring, and evidence-informed approaches to human and canine behavior.

Meet your mentor
Hi, I’m Julia. I’ve spent my career building and leading creative teams across agencies of all sizes — from small shops to managing interdisciplinary teams of 70 people in fast-paced environments. I’ve learned what it takes to grow teams rapidly while keeping ideas flowing, voices heard, and people inspired.
I champion diversity, inclusion, and a culture where everyone’s opinion matters. I’ve coached managers to elevate their teams through mentorship, instilling confidence, autonomy, and creativity.
As your mentor, I bring this experience to help you navigate leadership, manage teams, set boundaries, and stay sane while thriving in high-pressure creative environments.
