Hi, I’m Holly Chayes. I help creative business owners build businesses that work for them. Here’s more about me.
Holly Chayes has been working with creative businesses on their marketing, systems and operations since 2014. Her background in costume design for theater, and knitwear design for hand knitters. She works with individuals in their day to day genuine style.
She knows that running a creative business is no small feat and she delights in helping business owners make it a little bit easier and more profitable.
She believes business can be a creative collaboration between the business and the market.
Her clients have included: Vanessa a.k.a. The Crafty Gemini, Rebecca Mezoff tapestry artist and teacher, Jill Wolcott designer, Elena Deutsch founder of WILL: Women Interested in Leaving (big) Law, Gwen Bortner speaker and consultant, Liz Gipson of Yarnworker.com, and more.
Author of the Shawl Geometry Series: the math of shawl shaping for non-mathy people, Holly’s Tiny Book of Style, Holly’s Guide to Dressing for Your Body Shape with Care and Confidence, and Holly’s Guide to Building Your Next Capsule Wardrobe among other style guides and programs. And she once spent a year making all the clothes she wore – she called it The Self Made Wardrobe Project.
All of this boils down to:
I have a deep appreciation for the creative process, and a profound respect for the systems and structures that bring creative ideas to life.
If it sounds like I might be a good fit for you and your business…
FIND OUT HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
Holly is super organized and efficient. As you might imagine, it takes a lot of hands to keep a magazine like PLY running. I had been working with Jacey for a few years, and in that time I had started taking over more and more different tasks. We realized that we would need another person to keep up with everything, so we asked Holly to join the team… If you’re looking for someone efficient and organized to add to your team, absolutely, you should reach out!
