Making it in America: What international founders & creatives actually need to know
The cultural paradoxes, identity costs, and hidden rules nobody explains
👋 Hello, I'm Howard.
EditI help creative professionals find their groove when it matters most.
Through my studio Wavetable, plus coaching, speaking, and my newsletter Groove Theory, I work with people who want their ideas to land - with structure, rhythm, and real human presence.
Whether you're pitching to investors, facilitating a crucial workshop, or stepping into a bigger platform or career chapter, I'm here to help you show up authentically and make it count.
Oh, and I'm on a never-ending quest for the perfect breakfast 🍳.
A bit about me
I've spent 15+ years noticing patterns others miss. How DJs read rooms. Why some presentations land and others fall flat. The moves that successful creative professionals make - often without realizing it.
I've worn many hats: digital producer, globetrotting talent agent (Belgrade to Buenos Aires), then switched to remixing information instead of music. These days I:
- Run Wavetable: Creating learning experiences that are engaging, exciting and really work
- Coach individuals: Helping creative pros navigate transitions and high-stakes moments
- Share ideas, frameworks and case studies: Through Groove Theory and speaking gigs
I'm also on the SXSW advisory board and a certified professional coach.
Why this work?
I believe everyone has the potential to do work that truly matters. But people often struggle to make their best ideas land when it counts. I help bridge that gap - turning scattered thinking into compelling narratives, nervous energy into authentic presence.
Think of me as your rhythm section for the moments that count.
