hey, creative human!
You deserve clarity and confidence with your money.
Media + Workshop Partners
My work has been featured in conversations and recommended by these platforms, and I’ve led talks and workshops for some of them too.
Here’s what my clients are saying:
-
I started working with Dylan because I wanted to understand my money. He demystified it for me. Gave me a sense of control and autonomy. He respectfully showed me the ropes, held me accountable, and was always patient. Not only did he save me thousands of dollars, he helped me organize my spending to live a happier, less stressful life. Pretty cool, right?!

Dylan coached me through unemployment and I’m now financially thriving. With his guidance, I’ve learned personal finance literacy, I’ve overcome budgeting shame and I’ve even begun investing!

With Dylan we were relieved to work with a coach who understood the complexities of creative work. Together we built simple financial habits that allowed us to pay down our debt and automate our savings.

Earning good money but…wondering where it all goes?
You’re great at what you do, but managing your finances when your income fluctuates can feel overwhelming.
Balancing big paychecks with slow months, saving for major goals, and figuring out what’s draining your money, it’s a lot.
You’re not blowing money on weekly trips to Paris or luxury shopping, but somehow, the cash slips away.
Between Amazon orders, Target runs, take out and everyday spending, you’re constantly wondering why your bank account doesn’t reflect the work you’re putting in.
Some months feel great, others are a scramble. And every unexpected expense (a car repair, a slow payment, a trip you forgot to plan for) sends you back into stress mode.
You know you should be saving more, or maybe getting smarter with your spending, but where do you even start?
That’s where I come in.
Together, we’ll build a financial system that fits your real life, not a spreadsheet fantasy, so you can stay ahead of income dips, save for real, handle surprises without panic, and spend without guilt.
Curious how we’ll get it done
Does this sound familiar?
So many talented creatives experienced this...
You’re Making Money, But Don’t Know Where It’s Going
You don’t spend on luxury splurges, but somehow, your money disappears, little purchases here and there, takeout, travel, and things that feel small in the moment (Hello Amazon and Target) but add up fast.
You’ve Been Putting Off “Figuring Out Your Finances” For Way Too Long
You keep telling yourself you’ll get to it, after the next paycheck, after tax season, when things calm down. But it never really happens. Not because you don’t care, but because it’s overwhelming, and you’re not sure where to start. The longer you wait, the more stressed you feel… and the cycle keeps going.
Your Finances Feel Like a Constant Rollercoaster
Some months, money feels great, other months, it’s a struggle. You’re making decent income, but your bank account never seems to reflect it. Every unexpected expense throws you off track, and you’re tired of not having control.
You Want to Feel Confident About Your Money. Without Sacrificing the Life You Love
You don’t want to live by rigid financial rules, but you also don’t want to keep feeling stressed and uncertain. You want a system that works for your life, one that helps you plan for slow months, handle expenses with confidence, and actually see the results of your hard work.
You’re not bad with money. You’ve just never had a system that works for your adult life. If you need to feel more clear, more in control, and less stressed, let’s talk.
About me
Hey, I’m Dylan. Your financial coach who actually gets it
I’m a financial coach, educator, and creative professional who knows firsthand what it’s like to live with inconsistent income.
Since 2017 I’ve helped over two hundred and fifty clients build savings, pay off debt, and feel confident about money without shame or rigid budgets.
I work with people in film, TV, and self-employed business owners who want a system that works, even when their income isn’t steady.
I know the inconstant income life.
Before this, I spent years working as a disaster responder. getting called up and sent to floods, earthquakes, and even preparing for a presidential inauguration.
After that, I became a TV writer, even wrote for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. So I’ve lived the chaos of unpredictable income from every angle.
I know how disorienting it can feel, and how freeing it is to finally have a system that works.
Let’s make your money life feel manageable, dare I say even calm. I dare.
