Based between Dharamsala, India, and Kingston, New York, Amberjade Taylor offers 20 years of international experience in business development consulting for creative entrepreneurs across hospitality, design, and film industries.

The ‘right hand rule’ describes the underlying physics that relates magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving charges. I use this framework to conceptualize the relationships between your inner vision, drive, and abilities, and the external resources, opportunities, and terrain we navigate in actualizing your goals.

Together we develop an ecosystem that supports the flourishing of your practice - in art and business. As a trusted co-pilot who truly listens and understands who you are and what you’re going through, we partner to get your ideas off the ground in a steady and powerful way.
