The First Online School For Local Business Owners

Learn the principles. Build your presence. Stay rooted in community.

  • Bauhaus Studio School is a learning space for small business owners and creators who want to show up online with intention — without needing a massive team, agency, or content machine.

    This isn’t about trends or chasing algorithms.

    It’s about understanding the foundations of social media, storytelling, and strategy so you can build something that lasts.

  • I’ve worked with purpose-driven brands across the country, and what I’ve learned is simple:

    Most people don’t need more tools.

    They need clarity and support.

    Bauhaus Studio School exists to make social media and content creation understandable, accessible, and sustainable — especially for local businesses and small teams.

    If you know the principles, you can adapt to any platform.

  • Inside the school, we focus on:

    • Social media foundations (how platforms actually work)

    • Storytelling for small brands

    • Content systems that fit your capacity

    • Building consistency without burnout

    • Connecting your brand to your community

    • Creating with intention, not pressure

    These are skills you can use whether you’re:

    • a solo founder

    • a small team

    • a local business

    • or a creator building something meaningful

  • Bauhaus Studio School runs through guided cohorts and self-guided courses.

    Each cohort includes:

    • Weekly lessons & prompts

    • Live sessions and guidance

    • Community space for feedback and connection

    • Practical assignments you can apply immediately

    You’re not just watching — you’re building.

    Whether you’re in a cohort or a self-paced course, you’ll have direct access to me when you need additional support.

  • This is for you if:

    • You’re tired of guessing what to post

    • You want structure without rigidity

    • You care about your brand’s relationship with your community

    • You want to do social media well, not loudly

    • You’re tired of getting quoted thousands of $ per month

    • You don’t want to outsource everything — but don’t want to do it alone

    You don’t need experience.

    You just need intention.
