A dog’s guide to avoiding toxic people and not giving AF.

Perfect for dog lovers, recovering people-pleasers, girlies healing from toxic relationships, and anyone who needs a laugh disguised as a life lesson.
Off the page. Into your everyday.

The Branding Atelier
Built, not brainstormed.
I take on a small number of private clients — founders and owners who have something genuinely good and know it isn’t being seen that way yet. You arrive with an idea, or a business that’s outgrown its own packaging. You leave with the whole architecture: what it’s called, how it looks, how it sounds, what it costs, and the technology to run it.
By Invitation
Primary Practice
Private Client Engagements
The whole architecture, built with you. For a very small number of founders each year.
By application
Complimentary intro · Custom scope & investment
- Positioning, naming, brand identity & voice

Work with April →Work With Me
If you’re building something with a point of view, start here.
I’ve grown as an entrepreneur alongside technology. A big part of my genius is seeing where a business is ready for its next chapter, then connecting the strategy, systems, and tools that can take it there.
I help founders and established businesses put AI to practical use: designing agents for repeatable tasks, automating manual workflows, and integrating the tools their teams rely on. We start with what needs to work better, then build a more connected, efficient way of operating. Technology with a purpose, shaped around your business.
Let’s talk about AI and business optimization, a branding engagement, Kensington House Publishing rights, or a Lost Poet stay.
