Agenda

Jessie Okyere is a creator and strategist on a mission to prove that being organized doesn’t have to be boring. With a foot in both the business and healthcare worlds, I know exactly what it’s like to balance a big vision with limited disposable income. I specialize in helping artists with irregular paycheques, turn chaos into calm through the Artist Audit. A system for organizing your Wealth, Health, and Home using the low-friction tools you already own, like Apple Notes and your calendar. My goal is to help you build systems for life management so you can spend less time stressing and get back to the "why" of your art and help you get those creative juices flowing. 

For over ten years Adam has had a passion for audio and live production. His career began in voiceover work and gradually evolved into audio post-production for film and TV. During his time working at The Forge Audio, he had the privilege over working on a variety of projects and has been nominated for multiple AMPIA awards. Currently, he is working as the Technical Lead at the Bert Church Theatre, facilitating hundreds of events ranging from live music to theatrical productions, mixing audio, designing lights, and everything else that comes with live entertainment.
