Testimonials
-
Robin's classes are practical, fun, and transformative. She gives artists and curators plenty of immediate, individualized feedback, and guidance that gets them to keep thinking about how to best communicate about what they do long after the workshop has ended. Whether you're feeling stuck and need a serious overhaul or just want to shake things up a bit, I cannot recommend these classes more.
—Alison Kuo, Director of Programs, International Studio & Curatorial Program

Robin is a very engaging presenter! She boiled the basics of using Instagram for artists down into an easy-to-digest format. I made three straightforward changes to my Instagram profile immediately after the class and had a positive response online fairly quickly.
—Stephanie Todhunter, Programming Manager, Cambridge Art Association

Robin developed a rich and meaningful course on communication strategies. Her energetic style and attentive coaching eagerly motivated participants to adopt her suggestions for developing an authentic voice. Participants especially enjoyed Robin’s playful interpersonal communication exercises that offered practical tips on building audiences and sustaining professional relationships, on and offline, through clear and impactful communication.
