Elizabeth Dorbad has assisted in the development of visual artist archives and artist residencies, and consulted on a variety of projects for sculptors, architects and designers. In 2019, she began Elizabeth Dorbad Consulting and has worked with visual artists, museum builders, curators, musicians, sound artists, writers, philosophers, educators, graduate students, therapists, business owners and tech industry designers as a Creative Advocate, Career Strategist, Coach, Mentor and Business Consultant. Through weekly meetings and deep listening, this work creates individually tailored strategies to enhance the creative process, productivity and audience, and create career infrastructures, inroads and livelihoods. Collaboratively the client and the consultant construct maps of needs, dreams and desires and then follow the maps. In the five years of working with clients it has been wildly successful. The clients produce work that goes beyond what they previously thought possible. They increase confidence and ease, and receive the opportunities, positions and grants that allow them to move forward. The work generates and advances careers, transforms lives and is incredibly gratifying. It is nothing short of amazing.

“Immediately, with help from Elizabeth, I found myself writing more and with more focus. What has been most valuable in Elizabeth’s work with me is her enthusiastic attention to the process. She has taught me much not only about writing but about the creative endeavor itself.” D.B. Writer/Philosopher – Client 2019-2022
“Elizabeth is a keen listener. She wants to find your most pressing situations and guide you quickly to a focus point. She is a multi-studied and talented artist in constant personal and professional investigations that keep her suggestions fresh, relevant, with a hint of instinct. She has been able to bring out my own knowledge and contact ideas that had been dormant, yet useful to marketing. As a longtime photography artist, I found her approach enriching because she wants you to succeed.” L.T.- Master Artist Photographer, Professor- Client since 2022
“I truly enjoyed working with Elizabeth. We worked together for three months and I found the time to be extremely productive. I wanted to focus on some important issues, including making better use of my studio time and finding new places to exhibit my work. I chose Elizabeth because I have two close artist friends who worked with, and highly recommended her, and I watched them achieve many goals.” S.D.-Visual Artist- Client 2022-2023
