"Mikhaela has an exceptional ability to understand our arts ecology and how it shapes a person's path. She gets to the heart of what truly fuels someone and translates that into clarity, direction, and practical next steps. Her talent for synthesising ideas, passions, skills, and opportunities is unique, and working with her leaves you feeling deeply seen and equipped with a concrete, achievable way forward."

Sam Watson-Wood, Friends with Strangers

"Mikhaela’s significant project management experience contributed substantial value to the Chau Chak Wing Museum. She produced several exhibition projects for us and led the development of complex strategic policy, including a robust risk management framework. Her advocacy for artists and their work is exemplary, as is her demonstrated capacity to resolve challenges across multiple, simultaneous projects."

Luke Parker, Chau Chak Wing Museum

“My first session with Mikhaela gave me the opportunity to step back and look at how my practice was functioning. Together, we mapped the structural, organisational, and creative systems at play and considered whether I had what I needed. Mikhaela is generous and attentive, clear and concise. Working with her feels productive and generative, a space where ideas, structures, and decisions can culminate in responsible action…

More than anything, Mikhaela brings maturity and sophistication to her work. She knows the artworld - its inconsistencies and irritations, its joys and disappointments - and is open to difficult conversations (and their immense benefits) when they are needed. Mikhaela helps me feel safe in a practice shaped by creative and personal risk, and that sense of trust is a great gift.”

"There is no way I would be able to achieve as much as I do without Mikhaela. Mikhaela initially started working on my archive in incredible detail, and from there has taken on and improved so many aspects of my business… I can relax knowing that anything Mikhaela says she will do will be done efficiently and with great care. You need Mikhaela on your side!"

"Mikhaela is an expert in meeting someone where they are at, creating an atmosphere of comfort, and identifying needs. She has mastered the art of saying what needs to be said in a way that can be heard. On the project she helped me with, she brought her rare combination of razor-sharp intelligence and exquisite sensitivity to bear in ways that were not only helpful, but world-expanding, particularly in relation to lacunae I hadn’t even realised existed...

... And rather than just telling you what to do, Mikhaela guides you to find and strengthen the expertise within yourself, so that the many benefits of her input extend beyond the face-to-face time you spend with her."
