Frequently Asked Questions

I offer digital courses and AI prompt packs that teach visual storytelling, headline writing, and creative direction. Everything I sell is based on 17 years of magazine experience at publications like Good Housekeeping, Chatelaine, and Style at Home — real editorial thinking, not marketing theory.
-
Grab a prompt pack if you want something you can use immediately ($47-97), or dive into the full Visual Storytelling course if you want the complete framework ($397). Everything is digital and available instantly after purchase.

Self-paced and straightforward. You get the materials, you do the work. I'm not going to hold your hand or send you 47 reminder emails. But everything is built to actually be useful, not just feel like you learned something.
