Advisory, strategy, and coaching for creative studios.

I work with boutique agencies and design studios mired in the messy middle to help founders navigate growing pains and lead healthier, happier creative companies with confidence + clarity.

LET'S TALK

Bringing Clarity to Creative Chaos —

If chaos sounds like…

“I just wanted to do good work — I didn’t realize running a company would be this hard — **F&@#%!@?!!! — I have too many ideas but can’t focus — I can’t see where the business is going** — too many decisions, not enough intel — I feel so disconnected from the work & my team — all the creative energy has drained out of me.”

Here’s the hard truth: good work alone isn’t good enough anymore.

The design industry is changing faster than ever before, and as creative leaders, your focus is distracted by more at every turn:

More design studios = more competition. More AI + technology = more workflows upended. More employee + client demands = more expectations to manage.

More options = more decisions, more pressure, more complexity, more chaos.

Left brain sense meets right brain sensibility.

Hi, I’m Lynn. I’m a former COO and award-winning creative executive; after 2+ decades working in boutique agencies and design firms, I launched Frameworks to support and advise design-focused founders and senior leadership teams to navigate organizational change, be more effective leaders, and create the conditions for healthier creative companies.
