Unlocking your creativity
starts with YOU. We can be our own worst enemies, defeating ourselves before we even begin...but by the definition of 'art' we ARE artists.

If you don't know where to start, that's okay - I’m here to help guide you on the journey to unlocking your creativity, especially if you don’t consider yourself 'a creative type.' We'll bring your talents to light and reveal the art that’s waiting within you! Ready to start brainstorming?!

Wait - who the heck am I, and why should you trust me?!

I'm Stef 'Sharky' Schultz, and I speak with authority on art!

With over 15 years of experience spanning Finance as a QA Coach - Tech as a Data Analyst -
extensive creative roles in Film and Entertainment on both sides of the camera -
and an award in brand design...you could say I’ve developed a pretty keen understanding
of how folks discover and express creativity, as well as
an obsession with hunting down human stories...

...and lending an empathic ear!

My background includes film projects for the BBC, Adidas, VISA, Paramount, and award-winning studios, along with production design, directing, producing and live reporting, and acting. Beyond that, my work in music composition, recording, comic book creation and publishing, and award-winning brand and graphic design (including A-list events) has shown me that creativity takes countless forms and is accessible to everyone with the right mindset.

Are you human? Well, you're an artist! [It's that simple.]

So let me help you find YOUR art! There are so many more types than you may realize.
It doesn't have to be painting, drawing, photography, or even breadmaking.
Let's have a look at WHAT BRINGS YOU JOY, and hone in on what art is all YOURS.

Through empathetic listening and a powerfully creative approach, we'll uncover the stories that have shaped your life - and help you find unique ways to express yourself.
