Alice Wu

Are you an artist, designer, creative entrepreneur? I offer coaching and consulting to support your professional development and help grow your business.

Key to my work as a creative business coach are my current practices as artist, designer, arts administrator, and independent curator. I’m passionate about a values-based approach to navigating the art world, empowering individuals to tap into their inner confidence and resourcefulness to create a healthy and thriving career in the creative industries.

My work proposes a universe where resources are distributed equitably and mindfully used, and we can thrive and be our authentic selves. As a designer, I was dedicated to using recycled and organic materials, and manufacturing ethically and as domestically as possible. In my current work, I’m still driven by sustainable values and questions of what a socially-responsible creative practice looks like.

My non-linear, non-traditional career provides a unique perspective and fluency in both the art world and fashion design industries. I’m committed to supporting and encouraging emerging artists and designers, and have instructed fine art, fashion, and professional development to all ages.

I earned a B.A. in English Literature from Wellesley College and an M.F.A. in Sculpture from Yale University. I completed coach training at University of California Davis Continuing and Professional Education Coaching for Life and Work. I am an ACC (Associate Certified Coach) credentialed through the ICF (International Coach Federation). I'm the daughter of immigrants. My work has been informed by my years living in New York City, Boston, Taipei, and the SF/Bay Area.
