Collaboration, to me, is not casual connection or exploratory conversation. It’s intentional work between people who share values, respect boundaries, and are willing to engage thoughtfully.
This page exists to outline the types of collaboration I consider and to set expectations before any conversation begins.
a clear purpose
mutual respect for time and responsibility
alignment in values, not just opportunity
a willingness to communicate directly and honestly
Strategic partnerships or joint projects
Long-form conversations or interviews with depth and intention
Thoughtful contributions to meaningful initiatives
Advisory or behind-the-scenes support where clarity and structure are needed
generic outreach or “let’s connect” requests
mass pitches, cold promotions, or affiliate solicitations
time-bound urgency without context
collaborations built primarily around exposure or reach
who you are
what you’re proposing
why you believe alignment exists
