Who are you?

Why are you here?

How do you be you in the world, powerfully?

That’s where I come in.


Here’s the gist:

I help individuals & businesses articulate and express their most powerful purpose, identity and vision — and then help them bring it to life.

I can help you:

  • Clarify who you are or want to be

  • Express & embody that identity with clarity, authenticity and impact

  • Get inspired again or integrate your multiple parts

  • Overcome confusion and stuckness — as an individual, or business

  • Take your business, career or creative project to the next level

I do that through:

  • Brand & identity consulting

  • Business/professional coaching and advisement

  • 1:1 deliverables-based, proactive coaching (brand, business or creative)

  • Self Construct online branding program (click here)

  • Guest talks and performances (click here)

  • Writings (here), theater (here) and a podcast (here)

Offerings:

Spark session: phone or video chat for general consulting (brand, business, personal).

Deep Dive: video or in-person, 2-4 hour session to have my brain fully dedicated to solving or rocket-boosting a specific issue: brand/business challenge or purpose alignment.

Big Shift - customized coaching program to fully transform your brand, business, creative project—with clear deliverables, regular coaching sessions, conscious career, business and brand building, and reprogram of limiting beliefs. Minimum 3 months engagement.

Custom-created projects large and small. If you think I can help but not sure what form it might take, let’s talk. (Please check out my agency business for formal corporate projects).

A bit about me:

SDJ_AlterEgo_7.jpg

I AM AN IDENTITY EXPERT WORKING AT THE INTERSECTION OF BUSINESS, BRANDING & ART.

(Executive in the front, artist in the back.)

As a professional, I have worked in the branding industry for almost 2 decades as a namer, brand consultant, and Founder/CEO of House of Who, Inc. Over my career, I’ve created hundreds of brands, names, and branded assets for global companies like Google, Adobe and HP, as well as non-profits, mission-driven orgs, startups, solopreneurs and artists. I take a limited number of clients for business/brand coaching.

As an artist, I use business and identity as creative expression. I also work in more traditional crafts as a writer, trained actor, and solo performer, having performed my own one-woman-shows from San Francisco to New York, and live improv in cities like London and Oakland. I currently co-produce a literary salon in Sonoma County called Da Salon and am working on a book. Occasionally I creatively coach others to birth their own works of art.

Connect?

Contact me: ask questions, inquire about collaborating, inform me of your wonderful existence. I’ll write back, promise. Unless you’re a bot.

Connect on LinkedIn: I’m also happy to connect you with other people/resources who can support you.

Get on my list: writing, inspiration and learnings on how I play in the world of business and identity without losing my creative soul. I promise my words will inspire you, free you, or at the very least, entertain you.

A hugely valuable investment in myself...helped me organize my thoughts and create language that...distills who I am, makes me unique & powerful.

Shannon and her team helped us create an amazing [brand] foundation. I literally cried... because I had never felt so seen as a business.
— Ashleigh Wilson, CEO, Auditmate (Business Branding Client)
The work was invaluable. I knew my audience – but to articulate it, to say it out loud – that was everything. To clarify my positioning, to have someone as a sounding board, and to focus me and walk me through it… Once I got that done it was like, woosh! Things just took off.
— R.P. Ceramic artist (personal branding client)
Smart, authoritative...and completely on my side. The sensation is having an insider talking to me in a deeply personal way - of having an inside track.
— L. HERMAN, artist & producer (Self Construct course participant)
[This] program was a godsent for me...as I embark on developing my first online business....perfectly met my needs. I cannot praise Self-Construct enough.
— Deborah Z. (self construct course participant)
We hire[d] Shannon to lead a public workshop “Branding for Artists.” It turned out to be our most successful workshop of all time.
— Ann Trinca, former director, Berkeley Art Center
You are such a truly magic gem. Speaking with you yesterday... was enlightening. This is why coaching calls [to you]. Bc it’s a zone of genius!
