Creative Structures
Structural Guidance
for Artists and Writers
Hello, I'm Dara.
Like you, I'm an artist.
I’m also passionate about structure.
My favorite part of the creative process is finding the shape to contain ideas.

I work with all kinds of artists — visual artists, musicians, dancers, writers and entrepreneurs. I love the expansive, dynamic ways their minds work, and how distinct each artist’s creative process is.
Some visual artists think in shapes and colors, not words.
Some writers see moments first, before understanding how they connect.
Some artists turned to art precisely because they couldn’t express what they were feeling through language.
Our minds are amazing, multi-faceted entities that are distinctly different. It’s what makes our work so exciting and unique.
But sometimes the wildest creativity needs a little structure—and that’s where I come in. I specialize in understanding the essence of an idea, crafting the right container for it, and organizing language to make that idea shine. I love bringing order to ideas, ensuring they are clear, concise and easy to understand.
I do this by meeting you where you're at—really listening, asking thoughtful questions, learning about your goals, and understanding your strengths and skills. We then work together to get to the heart of what you want to express, and determine where you need a little support.
Together we'll create a plan and timeline that's realistic and achievable, so you can feel confident in your goals and your work.
Let me help, so you can focus on unleashing your wild, weird, undefinable brilliance.
