DF/c Dopamine Furnace Creative
Milwaukee · Concierge consulting

You've got the spark. I've got the matches.

I help people and small businesses get unstuck and get moving, on a video call or in person, in Milwaukee and beyond.

Concierge trip planning

A trip, planned. You just show up.

Your whole trip, day by day, booked and held. Solo, LGBTQ+ and off-the-beaten-path travelers welcome.

Fierce kindness, not Midwest nice

Not the guy who does it for you. The guy who helps you find your way.

What I do

Five things I'm good at.

  • Narrative & IdentitySay who you are and what you do in a way people remember.
  • Systems & MethodTurn a messy pile of ideas into a plan you can run.
  • Belonging & HospitalityMake people feel welcome, in a room or online.
  • Place & HomeMake a neighborhood, a space or a business feel like somewhere.
  • Journeys & ItinerariesPlan the trip so you can enjoy it.
Receipts

The work, not the pitch.

  • Director and marketing committee chair, Brady Street BID. Pro bono; a 3-year plan is in committee review.
  • A parade reel that hit 97,244 views in 2 days, and the harassment moderated out of it.
  • A full brand, operating system and business plan for a project that never got started, until now.
