A bit about me
I help creatives and entrepreneurs bring their true voice to life — clear, warm, and unmistakably their own.
Through The Refinery — my creative atelier — I guide people as they reconnect with what feels real, refine their signal, and shape work that fits who they are now (not who they used to be).
I live in Santa Cruz with my favorite human (a birder/game developer) and our labradoodle, Zoe. Our grown daughters chase waves, languages, and good food around the world — collecting stories and recipes along the way.
We’re all a little dog-crazy, of course.
If you’re feeling the nudge to explore what’s next, you’re welcome here.
Hi, I’m Robin—let’s connect!
If you’re sensing a shift — in your brand, your direction, or the way you want to show up — this is a good place to begin.
This is a professional orientation conversation — not casual connecting, coaching, or emotional support — designed to explore whether working together makes sense.
Not with a pitch.
Not with pressure.
Just a real conversation.
• a calm place to orient
• space to name what you're working toward
• room to see what kind of support might fit
Some people come curious.
Some come with something specific in mind.
Others simply know something needs attention.
You don’t need to sort that out in advance.
This conversation is where all paths begin.
