I make complex things, simple.
If you feel mentally overwhelmed and need structure and next steps for your projects, take a deep breath and let’s begin.
I’m Dena (pronounced deee-na).
I work with founders, creatives, consultants, and professionals who feel overwhelmed, mentally overloaded or stuck and need clear thinking, structure, and next steps.
Through a one-off, focused “90-Minute Clarity Mapping Session”, we bring coherence to complexity and define a strategic and practical way forward.
It connects all the pieces together, making complex things simple.
I combine creative direction, production, and trauma-informed facilitation to transform complexity into clarity.
My approach stays grounded, organized, and (gasp) human.
Contained. Focused. Intentional.
