Meet your coach
Shawn Scott
Founder / Creative Director / Coach
For over 16 years, I've founded successful creative studios, grown client brands, and led creative teams while raising a family. Self-care, mindfulness, and deep inner work have helped me overcome personal obstacles, business challenges, creative highs and lows, and have transformed my relationship with work. Allowing me to stay balanced, motivated, and inspired as a creative thinker and doer. Supporting the growth and development of other creatives is something I love and get a lot of satisfaction out of doing.

Testimonials
“Shawn’s coaching gave me the confidence and knowledge to establish my design studio and succeed as a creative professional. Over 3 months we covered a wide range of topics from a review of my personal website and branding, to a deep dive into the nitty-gritty of running a small business. I throughly loved the 1-on-1 coaching as it gave me the time to discuss answers to my specific questions and circumstances. Shawn tailored the coaching sessions to my specific needs. I'd highly recommend working with Shawn, you won't regret it!”
Pine W.
Founder, Pine Design
“Before working with Shawn, I was pretty lost on how to get my creative business off the ground. He gave me the structure, accountability, and guidance I needed. He pointed out things that were crucial to my success that I wasn’t doing and showed me exactly how to implement them. If you’re struggling with direction in your creative business, I highly recommend working with Shawn.”
Jeff P.
Founder, Pizzo Media
“My experience with Shawn was great. He really helped me demystify my own goals and vision for my future. Some times it takes an outside observer to really unlock what it is each indidual should do to actualize their potential. The 6 sessions I spent with Shawn were all worth it and I will probably be back after making a bit of progress on my own.”

A typical individual session will open with a 3-5 minute mindfulness exercise. I’ll ask you to set the agenda for the session. I will listen closely, ask follow-up questions, reflect on what I’ve heard, and then we’ll open a discussion to explore what came up, work towards a solution, take action steps, and have an accountability step at the end. The agenda may be resolved in a single session, or we may devote multiple sessions to it.
I coach according to the rules and ethics of the International Coaching Federation. This includes agreeing to confidentiality and privacy.
Coaching sessions will be held on Zoom or by phone (your choice) every other week at the scheduled time.
