Create braver, bigger work

Creative partnership for phenomenal humans at the intersection of art, business & power. 

 
 
 

Creative direction, coaching & creative midwifery make it real.

You're the leader whose vision is bigger than what you've built so far. The artist who hasn't found the full expression of your voice yet. The founder with another idea tugging at your sleeve. The executive with a meaty project that can’t be cracked or built alone. 

Someone ready to expand into what’s next — whether that’s a story, a business, a brand, or a whole new chapter.

This is a creative partnership with someone who sees you, and brings what only you could create into the world.

As a certified coach and award-winning creative director, I create the conditions for your truest work to emerge. I'll be your ride or die who brings great snacks and one hell of a playlist.

Client Love

  • “Pia’s unlike any coach I’ve encountered, she’s the Rick Rubin of coaching—an invaluable creative collaborator.

In just three months, I completed the final draft of my manuscript and submitted it to a publisher before giving birth. My book got accepted and I am now living the dream of becoming a writer and mom. I couldn’t have done it without Pia. She guided me to the finish line and helped me fulfill a sacred promise to myself. Pia understood me authentically, more than anyone else. Whether you're pursuing a creative project, building a dream business, or seeking clarity, Pia will be the trusted guide who ensures you're never alone in the process.”

    — Hayley Creasey, Author, Heart Jam

  • “I received more insight with Pia on our discovery call than from any other coach I have worked with. Pia held a beautiful, judgement free, expansive space for me as I moved through some of the deepest subconscious work that I've ever done: getting clear on my vision as well as moving through the blockages in the way of me getting there. Since working with Pia I have a newfound confidence that has me standing taller and prouder! I have a deep clarity that has led to me speaking more clearly and more importantly: I believe in myself more deeply. In six months, we accomplished every single goal we set out to at the beginning of our journey together!”

    — Jackie Shields, CEO & Coach

  • "Working with Pia transformed me, inside and out. She has all the coaching skills and yet, something unique that cannot be duplicated. It's the power to make her clients feel seen and heard in a deep way. She met me, no matter my struggle, with a steadfast belief that I could accomplish what I needed when I needed to. And together, we made the space for me to trust myself again. Once that happened, I didn't need to pursue my goals--they pursued me."

    — Shanna Heath, Editor & Author

  • "I cannot express enough what an incredible human Pia is - her energy and talent are amazing. She is absolutely brilliant. Working with her far exceeded anything I ever expected from my branding project. Pia challenged me - asked some deep questions. We worked together on what I wanted my brand to be, my long term vision, what I wanted to say, and how I wanted to feel about my brand. She was able to translate my thoughts into words in a very succinct, emotional, and really powerful way. I am so grateful to have met her and to have her be part of my journey. I am incredibly proud of and excited about the outcome. I couldn't recommend her more."

    — Jeanne Collins, Founder of House of JerMar, published author, and podcast host

  • I spent a fabulously rich 11 months working with Pia. We'd first crossed paths in Agency Land a decade earlier, so when I found myself in need of some serious strategic support, she was the first person I thought of. Pia is fantastic. Curious, talented, organised and artistic; she has this rare ability to take layered, complex information and transform it into coherent, compelling brand strategy. Across 4 brands that were desperately crying out for distinction yet quietly blurring into homogeny, Pia helped shape how we crafted meaning, carved out territories and built strategies with real backbone. The output was substantial: a huge Brand Bible, individual Brand Books and eventually full Brand Toolkits. A brilliant mind; witty, intelligent and tenacious. You will not regret her partnership or the talent she brings to the table. I very much look forward to working with her again, and until that day comes, I'd recommend her without hesitation.

    — Martin Morris, Creative Director

  • "I spent eight months with Pia. Five months on life coaching and three to define my personal brand. Her guidance has taken me further than I could ever imagine. I kid you not, working with her has been one of the most transformational experiences. Pia's coaching was exactly what I needed to help me express authentically, position my brand and hone my voice. Her influence continues to guide my approach today. Anyone looking to explore their potential and reshape their brand, I wholeheartedly recommend Pia. Her expertise, insight, and supportive nature make her a 10 ☆ coach and mentor."

    — Justine Jones, Creator & Entrepreneur

  • "Pia is a life changing coach who offers a great balance of soulful energy and impactful action. Before working with Pia, I had been struggling a lot with putting myself out there in an authentic way. Since becoming her client, I have met my top career goals (exhibiting my work and doing an art residency in Palestine) and even got engaged to be married! In addition to her intelligence and creativity, I find Pia’s critical listening skills to be incredibly sophisticated and one of a kind. In case you’re looking for a sign that you need a creative coach…this is it!"

    — Liane Al Ghusain, Artist, Writer & Teacher
