I am a fee-only, flat-fee fiduciary and the owner of Artisan Financial Planning, an advisory firm dedicated to professional musicians, performing artists, and creatives. After a career on stage, I bring a real‑life perspective to planning—I understand variable income, touring schedules, union and employer benefits, royalty streams, 1099/W‑2 mixes, and the career pivots many artists face. I deliver comprehensive financial planning and investment management with clear, unbiased advice: no product sales, no commissions, and transparent pricing. Clients work with me as a personal money coach to align cash flow, emergency reserves, benefits decisions, investments, taxes, insurance, and retirement timelines with their artistic goals—so they can follow their muse without worrying about money. Services include ongoing financial planning, tax‑aware investment management, retirement readiness and Social Security optimization, risk management, education on healthcare choices, and guidance for business owners and freelancers (entity selection, budgeting, and quarterly taxes). My approach is collaborative, educational, and practical: I build plans that fit the cadence of performances, recording projects, and family life. As a former orchestral musician who navigated career‑impacting health challenges, I meet clients with empathy and clarity, helping them make confident decisions at key transitions. I serve clients nationwide virtually and am committed to acting in your best interest at all times as a fiduciary. Importantly, I am open to working with creative professionals from all walks of life—wherever you may be on your financial life journey—from getting started and stabilizing cash flow to scaling your career, planning major projects, or preparing for retirement.
