Your Creativity

Through individual sessions, workshops, my workbook, and events, I provide creative accountability, guidance, and inspiration for anyone focusing on personal passion projects and practices—from established artists to those who don’t consider themselves creative (yet).

Who you are:
You appreciate the value of creativity and want more of it in your life. You’re an artist, you struggle with calling yourself an artist, you work in a creative field but neglect creating for yourself (which is critical!), your day job is completely unrelated to your creativity, you’re between jobs, you’re a side hustler, hobbyist, student, or retiree. You’re interested in any creative discipline and are at any point in your creative journey. You have a creative project in the works, may have too many projects and need help focusing, want to discover your next project, or want to focus on re/starting a creative practice overall.

Individual & Small Group Sessions

Individual Sessions

What we’ll do:

I offer a blend of support, guidance, advice, and accountability. We’ll start by identifying your anticipated goals. Then in a supportive, confidential space, each session starts with a check-in on your goals which launches us in any number of directions. You’ll identify and overcome creative barriers, set and meet goals, build sustained support and explore how your whole life intersects with your creativity. You will have homework to propel your progress.

Scheduling:

Sessions are 45-minutes over Zoom or phone (your choice) and typically every 1 to 3 weeks. We’ll schedule as we go for ultimate flexibility and you are welcome to email me between sessions.

Rates:

4 sessions: $800 ($200/session)
10 sessions: $1750 ($175/session)
20 sessions: $3000 ($150/session)
**Pay-what-you-can available + sessions never expire**

Virtual Workshops

What we’ll do:

Virtual workshops bring together up to six people of any creative discipline to provide ongoing accountability, community and support for your creative projects and practice. Workshops typically meet monthly for 90 minutes and include opening check-ins, an activity, and project shares.

All groups are currently full - sign up for my monthly newsletter to ensure you know when new workshops open!

PRIORITIZE YOUR CREATIVITY!

Inspired Clients

  • "After just a few sessions with Kate Sullivan, I realized that many of the things I thought were “blocking” my creativity were actually outdated attachments I no longer needed. Kate's helped me build new frameworks and habits around both my creative and professional work — and the benefits showed up almost immediately. That momentum and confidence are still propelling me forward, both on and off the clock."

    Walter Thompson, writer/independent journalist

  • "Working one-on-one with Kate has been so helpful, inspiring, and fun. Every time we meet, I walk away feeling energized and focused with a clear path forward. It’s been such an amazing investment (in my creative writing and overall happiness) and I can’t recommend her enough."

    Emily Donelan, writer-producer (Wilmette, IL) 

  • "Kate shepherds creativity in an organic way, acutely listening to thoughts and ideas then parsing out key observations that provide clarity along one's journey. Her approach is some part cheerleader, some part (life) coach. While Gretzky famously said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take," Kate works with you to make that shot... hopefully, over and over again."

    C. Mia Juhng, Emerging Podcaster and Scrappy Street Hockey Badass (New York City, NY)

  • “Kate has been a huge part of helping me organize and manifest my creative side projects. 10 out of 10 Creatives with ADHD would recommend!”

    Evan Roberts, Multimedia Storyteller & Producer (San Francisco, CA)

  • "This workshop helped me be more consistent and feel validated in my own creativity. It was a joy to engage with my cohort’s projects and bring that spark back to my own work. Kate’s demeanor and facilitation was pitch perfect!"

    Tara Lockhart, interactive event producer and writer (San Francisco + Ahwahnee, CA)

  • "These 8 weeks enabled me to hold myself accountable when it came to my creative process. No more excuses! I got my insecurities out of the way and went on the most productive creative streak I've been on in years."

    Richie, Program Manager (Berkeley, CA)

  • "Kate's Creativity Workshop was transformative. It pushed my project forward and helped shape my ideas into what I always envisioned but couldn't articulate. The group dynamic and overall experience acted as an Idea & Creativity Chisel, breaking through my creative blocks."

    Nish Patel, Storyteller in Training (Ottawa, Canada)

  • "Kate created a thoughtful, generous container for a diverse group of people with creative practices to come together. She exudes warmth, humor, and practicality -- a wonderful cocktail when you have a creative project on your hands you're trying to bring (back) to life."

    Emily E, Designer & Multimedia Artist (Seattle, WA)

  • "Sometimes, struggling to make time for your art feels like such a shameful, lonely experience. This workshop reminded me that this experience is not unique to me, and I'm in great company. It was a great reminder that collectively, it's easier to breathe new life into our creative pursuits."

    Natalie Leal, Senior Copywriter, Multicultural Advertising (Oakland, CA)

  • "Kate has a great way of structuring and leading the sessions. It's not prescriptive rather you're asked to explore creativity on your own terms via thought provoking prompts, insights, and group discussion. To my mind this allows each participant the space to find their unique creative path."

    Gabrielle Zuckerman, Media Producer (New York City, NY)

  • "This was an inspiring and thought provoking workshop. I learnt techniques to support and encourage my creativity that I hadn’t previously considered. Kate is a great facilitator, creating a space for all participants to be heard, and challenging the notions we all carry."

    Susan Brennan, Graphic Designer & Artist (San Francisco, CA)

  • "In no time, Kate took a group of strangers and turned us into a trusting circle for testing out new ideas and project development."

    amy wheeler harwood, zinester (Tuscon, AZ)

  • "Kate’s biggest strength as a facilitator is how she balances the head and heart, structure and empathy. She brings deep professional creative experience, organization, and clear communication, as well as the flexibility, care, and integrity needed to create a safe space and help people flourish creatively. Her workshop helped me prioritize my personal creative practice, meet new friends, and think about my podcast (and myself) from a new perspective."

    Emily Shaw, Podcast Executive Producer & Audio Artist (San Francisco, CA)

  • Kate created a space for a group to unite and work through our collective creative roadblocks. Each session was inspiring and supportive. Not only did this experience help me overcome my creative roadblocks, it helped me organize and prioritize my personal and professional goals. I will continue to reference the provided materials and resources. Kate is an empathetic leader and has helped me take meaningful steps forward with my creative projects.
