A working menu of what I offer, who each service is for, and what to expect — including what it costs. Every engagement starts with a conversation.
Individual Services
Each service below can be engaged on its own or combined. Where two services naturally travel together, I've built a package — see below.
For small business owners who are the bottleneck in their own business
If your business only runs when you're running it, that's a structure problem — not a motivation problem. I look at how your business actually operates, find where the gaps and friction are, and build the documentation, workflows, and decision guides it needs to function without you managing every detail. The goal is a business that can operate, onboard staff, and handle decisions with or without you in the room.
Project-based. Scoped after a discovery conversation — scope depends on how many systems need to be built or documented.
For people starting something and needing more than a name
I help you develop the actual concept — what the business is, who it's for, how it's positioned, and what makes it something people would choose over the alternative. This isn't branding in the visual design sense. It's the strategy behind what you're building: the logic, the positioning, and the framework the brand runs on.
Project-based. Scope depends on how developed the concept already is.
For businesses that have a brand but aren't consistently showing up online
Content strategy and ongoing social media support — built around what your business actually does and who your customers are. Not a generic posting schedule. A real plan with platform-specific direction, written copy ready to publish, and a structure you can follow with or without me involved month to month.
SEO and digital marketing audits available as an add-on to any service. Starting at $250.
For professionals who know they want something different but need a clear path — and the resume to back it up
Career transition planning and resume writing are available individually or together — they work best as a pair. See the Career Pivot package below for the combined option.
I look at where you actually are — your current skills, your background, the field you're moving toward — and build a realistic, step-by-step plan for getting there: certifications, job targets with pay ranges, and a week-by-week action plan. Resume writing pairs directly with it — the roadmap tells you where to go, the resume positions you to get there. Each piece is also available on its own.
Resume turnaround: 5 business days. Combine both as the Career Pivot package below and save $25.
Packages
Some combinations of services come up often enough that it makes sense to offer them together — at a slight discount and with a more connected delivery.
Resume writing + career transition planning, delivered together
For someone making a move who needs both the roadmap and the professional document to go with it. These two services are more useful together than apart — the transition plan clarifies where you're going, and the resume is built around that direction.
Delivered within 7 business days.
Brand concept development + operations framework, built as one engagement
For someone starting something that needs both the strategic foundation and the operational structure to actually run. Brand development tells you what you're building and why it'll work. The operations framework gives it the structure to function without depending on you for every decision.
Project-based. Scoped after initial conversation.
Why it's priced this way
Priced for the client base
The people this practice serves — early-stage entrepreneurs, individuals in career transition, small business owners — don't have large consulting budgets. Pricing that doesn't account for that doesn't produce clients. Accessible pricing that gets real engagements is worth more right now than a rate that doesn't close.
Entry-level, not discounted
These prices reflect where this practice is in its development — not a markdown on the value of the work. As credentials, track record, and client history grow, pricing will grow with them. The goal right now is building both: a body of paid work and the professional development that earns a higher rate over time.
Fair, not free
None of this work should be done for free. The work has real value — documented, deliverable, and actionable. Charging for it isn't a claim about credentials. It's a reflection of the time, thinking, and skill it takes to produce something someone can actually use.
