"Working with Hope has transformed my team’s approach to contracts and helped us to retain and regain access to my intellectual property. Our contracts now create clarity and support effective collaboration. I have the assurance that my work will remain mine to use and share. Hope is wise, strategic, and timely and her expertise has been invaluable as we have grown and evolved our legal systems and practices."

“Working with Hope as ARTogether's lawyer has been an invaluable experience. As a member of the artist community herself, she brings a deep understanding of our needs and has provided excellent guidance and support.”
— Leva Zand, Director of ARTogether
“Hope is a visionary thinker, artist, problem solver, and facilitator. She prioritizes vision as a catalyst for development; seeing deeply how to innovate structures while maintaining artists' wellness and creative practice. Hope's work goes deep, creating space for the hard and often unsolvable problems, and then grounds us in action with a plan that feels manageable and relevant. We are so grateful for Hope's ability to clarify scalable and collaborative systems change.”

“Hope brings compassion and professionalism through the lens of a practicing artist and a whipsmart lawyer. This superpower combination allows for a non-intimidating, fun process. As a longtime practicing arts professional, I found her qualities invaluable and almost magical. Before I knew it we had completed a legal process that would have taken me much more time.”
