Portfolio Career MENTORING
Need help building your career with commas? Let’s talk.
BUILDING A PORTFOLIO
CAREER IS TRICKY.
Let me Guess…
You’ve built up an impressive resume. But you need help translating that into a portfolio career model that fully reflects who you are, how you want to work, and what you have to offer. You may have even started to build the beginnings of a business or product you’re proud of, gaining some early traction on your own.
BUT you’re at a crossroads.
You are ready to take your small business to the next level, and making it happen feels like staring at a thousand puzzle pieces.
And You’ve got ideas GalorE!
But translating them all into a clear business model, a focused set of priorities, and a cohesive personal brand? It feels like trying to explain a galaxy. Where do you even start this process?
You, My Friend, have a Product strategy problem.
And that’s where I come into help!

1-on-1 ADVISORY CALLS FOR ASPIRING or Experienced PORTFOLIO CAREERistS:

We can discuss things like:
Diversifying your income streams,
Creating a plan out to transition out of or supplement your 9-to-5,
Building a go-to-market strategy for your first product,
Refining your current brand or product positioning,
Defining your target customer, use cases, and buying triggers,
Developing your content strategy or launch plan for social,
Troubleshooting business development blockers (across acquisition, activation, and conversion), and
Aligning website, LinkedIn, sales pitch, and product copy to your overarching GTM motion
Hi, I’m Brie.
II help creative multi-hyphenates architect their portfolio careers.
I am a 20 yr product management veteran and seasoned portfolio careerist who has helped hundreds of small business owners commercialize their “career with commas”. If you’re a founder or small business owner looking for a product strategy playbook to unlock your business’ growth trajectory, you’re in the right place.
You want a brand that feels like a world—rich and multi-dimensional in nature.
You hate generic marketing advice and social media gurus that oversimplify business mechanics.
You're ready to turn your philosophy into a platform that scales your own IP.
You want everything you do, from your messaging to your offers to your brand visuals, to feel like part of a living ecosystem.
You want to make money in a way that feels artful, not extractive. And you want room to experiment along the way!
I'm a good fit for you if...
You're building something original—a practice, product, or a body of work—you will be investing in for years to come.
You’re playing the long game with your business and looking to build a legacy.
You are hungry and ready to work on the things you’ve been avoiding (your business model and your product positioning).
You want structure but not too much structure. (You like frameworks and exercises that get you going and then want to riff and build on those ideas with me as your thought partner. )
If you read through all of this and thought, that’s ME!—we should talk!
Easy as 1-2-3…
My process is equal parts creative lab and mirror.
I never force my clients to follow prescribed, inflexible business frameworks that don’t match how their brain works. You set the tone for the session and own the agenda: hit me with a rapid-fire round of questions, or we can go very deep on one specific roadblock. After you book and pay for the session, I'll send an intake questionnaire so I can get the full backstory before we hop on a call. I'll show up ready to give you everything I can: honest, candid, no nonsense, zero judgment feedback and pointers for your portfolio!
