Artist Agent - Practical Advice for Creatives

Based in New York, I have had a 15+ year career as an artist representative and agent who has worked with top-level creatives across mediums such as photography, moving image, creative and art direction, fashion styling, creative movement direction, illustration, and influencers, with a strong focus on clients in fashion, beauty, tech, and design. In this time, I have guided the careers of the people I have represented both artistically and commercially, helping them find balance and success. I have also been a longtime reviewer for the International Center of Photography's MFA Graduating Class, and have advised countless freelance artists over the years. Please visit my Linkedin below to see some of the artists and creators I have represented at various agencies over the years, such as theCollectiveShift, Jed Root and D+V Management. My client list includes brands such as CHANEL, Nike, IKEA, Apple, Jil Sander, Dior, Louis Vuitton, The New York Times, W Magazine, and many others. Being an independent creative is never easy. The last few years have created both opportunities and questions for people who work for themselves. One may feel like they have few options to talk to people about business and artistic decisions. There is so much information available now, but it can also be overwhelming and hard to parse. Topics of discussion can include but not be limited to: - Negotiating fees, terms and rights - Business and operational management - Reviewing and amending contracts - Client communication and management - How to market oneself to potential new clients - Creating new work or reviewing existing work - How to start your career in the commercial arts I would love to help you discuss ways to focus or become unstuck, how to solidify your business practices (financial, marketing, or otherwise), and help you orient your work towards your goals, or even redefine what those goals should be.
