Open Studio
Wouldn’t it be cool if entrepreneurship came with a help button?
Hi, I’m Jess.
Founder of MOCA and the collaborator behind your help button.
For the last decade, I’ve been searching for the best way to support entrepreneurs in actually building a business that works for their life.
I tried a few of the traditional routes—virtual assistant services, strategy work, and project management. Each approach worked in its own way, but I was only impacting a small piece of their business. They were still carrying the weight of it all on their own, and I could see it.
So I threw out the rulebook on what support should look like.
I realized what people needed most was a partner. Someone to think with, build with, fall apart with.
I created a space for hands-on, one-on-one support that doesn’t feel the need to pretend that there’s a clean line between strategy and execution. Our priority is to create movement. We work together in real time, on whatever feels important in that moment.
About Open Studio
Open Studio is a space to think, untangle, and get momentum. There’s no program, packages, or long-term commitment. It’s fluid and adaptable, designed to be what you need, when you need it.
You and me on a call. One hour.
Whatever you want to work on.
Each session is completely customized. We collaborate in real time, focusing on what’s been feeling heavy or unclear. We can…
Build
Create
Learn
Brainstorm
Strategize
Prioritize
We focus on what matters most to you.
“Owning a business can feel lonely. Finding a strategic partner to check-in and process ideas with has been key in not only developing my business but also in feeling connected.
Jess asks great questions to help me sort through that visionary chaos and challenges me (in a nice way) to prioritize actions that move my business forward. I look forward to every session!”

“Working with a Jess has been a game changer for my business. When I think about where I was when I met her and how different things are today, it’s easy to see the transformation.
Jess helped me take my first step toward systems. I have rebelled against the word “systems” forever (it’s not in my DNA). She listened and heard me and what I wanted for my business, and then helped me find ways to make that work in the real world.”

How to use Open Studio time
(Really, there are no wrong answers here)
Find Your Focus
We’ll sort through your ideas and identify priorities. Get direction, clarify an offer, or outline which big idea makes sense to implement first.
Learn How
Learn how to do it yourself, with real-time guidance. Can’t figure out how to edit something on your website? I can teach you how to do it on your own.
Create Together
We can tackle small projects like creating graphic templates that match your brand or writing a pitch to be a guest on a podcast.
Review + Revise
If you have something you’ve created that could use a second set of eyes, I can review + revise. Let’s look over your Canva creation or website page together.
“Sometimes I get stuck on some business decision or process that’s outside my wheelhouse, and all my momentum comes to a halt while I run in circles. All I really want is someone who will understand my questions and respond with the direct insights and answers I need to get out of neutral and move to the next step.
Imagine my excitement when that’s exactly what happened in my Open Studio session with Jess. In one hour, we cracked through my list and did more actionable work than I’ve done in months with others. Bonus: That shift in momentum sparked brand-new ways of thinking about my business! I’m already preparing for my next Open Studio.”
Chris Trout

“Working with Jess has had such a meaningful impact on my life, both professionally and personally. She has this grounded wisdom and calm presence that makes everything feel a little clearer and easier to navigate. I’m constantly amazed by her problem-solving superpower, she can take something that feels tangled and help you see a simple, real way forward.
Her guidance has shaped the way I think and grow, and I always walk away from our meetings together feeling more grounded and inspired.”

Ready?
One hour of focused, hands-on support for $200.
Each session is collaborative every step of the way, so you’ll leave knowing exactly what was done and why. However we spend our time, my goal is that you leave understanding your systems, your tools, and how everything fits together.
Go on, push the help button. Let’s do this together.
Can I gift Open Studio time?
You sure can! Open Studio time makes a thoughtful gift for a friend who’s feeling overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. It’s especially great for new entrepreneurs who are just getting started. They might need support in figuring out their offers, finding their first clients, or trying to bring a little structure to all their ideas.
Purchase an Open Studio session for someone and I’ll make sure they have everything they need to schedule, show up, and leave feeling lighter and clearer about where to go next.
