POSITIONING,
STORYTELLING,
and PERSONAL BRANDING
for CReATIVES AND PORTFOLIO CAREERISTS!
You’ve got more options than you think! What you need to see and access them is a good story.
I help career-confused polymaths, product marketers, designers, animators, artists, writers, and strategists who feel directionless, burnt out, and frustrated by their careers turn their many talents into a story that attracts killer job opportunities. Ready to stop winging it and build the jumping-off point for a more fulfilling, varied portfolio career?
You need to build person-market fit.
PERSON-MARKET FIT: DESIGNING a MESSAGE THAT Attracts opportunities that MATCH HOW YOU ARE NATURALLY WIRED TO WORK.
It’s 2026. The way we structure and manage our careers has changed. You understand this in an intellectual sense. Emotionally speaking though, you're just one "so what do you do?" away from excusing yourself to the bathroom to cry into the sink at a happy hour.
You’re tired of mumbling about “wearing a lot of hats” and need help figuring out how to turn your messy, non-linear career arc into something you can say out loud with confidence so people immediately connect with you and your story on a deeper level. I help turn the mess into a message, connecting the storytelling dots of your creative brilliance so you can create that fulfilling, well paid career you know you deserve and ultimately want.
No false certitude or guru promises to future-proof your career here. (There's no such thing!) What I can give you, though, is a flexible storytelling system rooted in your intuition and instincts that helps you get crystal clear about what exactly you want in this next season of your life so you can start introducing your skills and perspective to new and exciting audiences.
Is it time to pick up the pen and write a new Chapter of your Career?
HI THERE! I’M BRIE!
PRODUCT STRATEGIST BY TRADE. PORTFOLIO CAREERIST BY DESIGN.
In 2023, I lost my job unexpectedly. In hindsight, it was exactly the wake up call I needed at the time to start transitioning to a career model that better matched my life and the way I was wired to work.
I started building a portfolio career that year and haven’t looked back since. Three years, countless experiments, and more than a few instructive “mistakes” later, I’ve built up a fully independent, multi-six-figure business on my own terms and helped more than 200 fellow professionals begin doing the same.
When I’m not busy flagging the emergency exit for people fleeing outdated career models or yappin’ about portfolio careers online, you can find me adventuring about the Pacific Northwest, reading a good book, or cozying up with my two cats (who remind me regularly that naps by the fire are also a part of the portfolio ;).

MY SERVICES
Ready to WORK Together?
If you want me all up in your career business, there are two ways to partner. I like to start all new client engagements with a single working session. It gives us both a chance to determine whether we're a good fit and whether my approach and skill set is the right match for your situation. If one session gets you unstuck or is all you need, fantastic! If we determine you need a greater level of support, we can talk about my three-month product consulting package.
★★★★★ "THE best positioning workshop I've been to in a while! Brie made this so practical for me as a fractional business operator.”Harry Siggins“I’m STUCK!!”
PICK MY BRAIN SESSION
50 min * $275For Polyworkers, Freelancers, Laid-Off, and Burnt Out Mid-Career Professionals looking to change how they manage their business/career.

“I NEED A NEW STORY!”
POSITIONING SPRINT
2wks w/ a 2hr session * $599For Freelancers, Coaches, and Small Business Owners looking to refine their value proposition to attract more right fit job opportunities.
HOW IT WORKS:
I send you a series of pre-workshop exercises to help clarify your goals and priorities and build a message that helps you achieve them. When we get together, we refine your positioning for your website, your elevator pitch, and one social media channel. Then we work asyncronously together to refine your founder pitch via Slack over the next 10 business days.
HOW THE SAUSAGE GETS MADE
Turning YOUR CURRENT MESS INTO A MESSAGE.
1. We clarify
Before the session, I send you an exercise to audit your experience, skills, interests, and accomplishments.
2. We synthesize
When we get together, we uncover the patterns hiding beneath seemingly unrelated jobs, projects, and jobs.
3. We position
Then we begin architecting a messaging and branding strategy that your intended audience will immediately connect with and trust.
4. We communicate
From there we decide which social media channels and formats to distribute that message.
5. We attract
We close by building you a content flywheel that keeps bringing clients, collaborators, and employers to your digital doorstep long after we're done working together.
