A workshop for independent creators.
You have the idea.
You know where you want to go.
But somewhere between the vision and the actual doing, things get murky — the steps blur, the plan feels impossible, and suddenly you're just... stuck.
This workshop is for the independent creator who's ready to stop dreading the planning process and start making it feel like them.
About Lucas Abbott
Lucas Abbott (he/they) is a marketing strategist and creative consultant with 13 years of experience promoting arts, culture, and community in Western Massachusetts. They’ve built their practice at the intersection of creative instinct and strategic thinking — helping small teams with big dreams engage audiences. Their background spans public programming and museum education, arts festival founding, crisis communications, and full-stack content strategy, with deep roots in the cultural economy of the Pioneer Valley.
Come As You Are (and plan) grew out of Luc’s own experience navigating the planning process as an independent creative, and his belief that the way most of us are taught to think about planning doesn’t actually fit the way most of us work. He brings the same balance of structure and intuition to this workshop that he brings to his client work: practical, generative, and built around you.
