Kirsten Klug
If you are feeling anxious or frustrated in business, I can help bring clarity and calm so that you can confidently succeed while still finding time to do more of what you love. That is why you went into business in the first place, right? Whether you want to guarantee a certain income for each month, know that you can take Friday's off or be available for your kids, I can help bridge gaps in communications so that it is easier for people to connect and start conversations that lead to positive change.

Describe your creative process.
My creative process begins with a brainstorming session. In order to keep us going on task, I ask a lot of questions that lead us through the process. If we get off track, I have ways to bring us back so we are mindful of our time and efforts. It is really fun and our creative process will be integrated throughout our time of working together.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
Contact information, meeting on zoom to go over scope of project/payment plan and then a down payment. I get a down payment to begin usually half of the project or the initial payment for an ongoing retainer.
What do you love most about your job?
Being able to inspire and influence choice so that our work inspires and attracts the right people at the right time and place.
I also really enjoy inspiring business owners to see how they can create the life they love in business and beyond.
Looking at time management, getting unstuck and providing encouragement to people with aphasia, learning disabilities, brain injuries, stroke survivors, etc.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Creative expression and connecting with others to find joy is what inspires me. I was in grade school when I made craft projects and sold them at holiday markets. Then, the summer after high school I started a line of greeting cards and marbled pillowcases that I sold at the Portland Saturday Market. In 1994, I started ID Graphics that became Bamboo River Marketing & Book Publishing Press. In 2009 I started Bamboo River Foundation a non-profit for providing multi-sensory education for Healthy and Fun Choices to underserved families.
Why should our clients choose you?
We will have fun and your life will be a lot easier to enjoy. After working with one client for fifteen years I asked him why he keeps working with me and his answer was "you give me more time to spend with my family." Whateve it is you want, I can help you get there and it can change over the years and we can adjust. I remember one client wanted to start a business, then he wanted to write a book, then he wanted to host cruises for his patients, then he wanted to retire and sell the business... he got to do all of them!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Of course! I work with clients all over the world and even in my home town! I meet with most clients through zoom and I also enjoy walk and talks where we are walking and talking. I will provide you with a zoom code and time, we typically have cameras on so I can have a good connection with you if we are not in person. Presentations are also done online so I can share work in progress, presentations and sometimes even create with you while you are on the zoom call. All phases and projects are approved prior to completion, launch, printing or distributing.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
If we meet in person, you could wear a mask. If we meet on zoom, we are completely fine. We could also meet outside and not meet in busy, crowded coffee shops or restaurants.

Strategic Business Coaching
Would you like to create the life and business you love? Would you like to stress less, make more money and have more freedoms? I can help! I have been through a lot in my life time having injuries as well as building a business up and then nearly losing it all. Through all I have gained insight and understanding, empathy and friendships. I would love to help you create the life you love and be more of who you love!
Brainstorming & Analysis
Have you ever had so many ideas that you didn't know which one to move forward on? Or are you having troubles coming up with a good idea or plan? I am really good at helping people figure out a plan and the steps to move forward into action and success.
Sales, Financing & Payments
It is important to get paid for the work you do. I help business owners figure out what to charge for their products and services so that they are paid.
A landscape client was having us do a postcard marketing program and all the different ways people could hire them was too complicated, so we simplified down to two payment programs and his sales went through the roof!
A counselor was having issues with insurances, so she wanted to figure out how to get cash clients and we helped her. The process and building rapport was easy for her once we had the plan in place.
A specialty product retailer needed to figure out pricing for products and services, I helped him create a flow chart and do research of his competitors so that his prices relfected the intentions and stood out with value.
Graphic Design
When I design for you, I think about how different people with different learning styles and disabilities may understand as well. I want to make sure that your communications are easy to read visually and contextually, as well as making sure the graphics are what you envision or like. I'll work with you to pick a color scheme, images, photos, illustrations etc that match your brand or define it.
