Shelly is the motivation and creativity side of Lightbox SF. As a jewelry designer she has spent many years testing and honing the skills and discipline needed to run your own creative business while still having time for friends, family and fun. She puts her wealth of experience to use in the Creating Space service - weekly advice to help keep you motivated, push through those stuck times, and make the most out of your already busy schedule. She will help you find the space in your head and the space in your life to pursue your dreams and she’ll always insist there’s time for yourself.
Besides creating and running her own jewelry design business, em’s studio, Shelly writes guest posts on living your best life on well-known blogs such as Kanelstrand and Awfully Grand and is pursuing a Core Strengths coaching certificate through San Francisco State University.

Genevieve is the logic and business side of Lightbox SF. She’s the one who geeks out on creating Twitter lists, the finer points of client management, and creating social media strategies. She endlessly researches the newest ideas in creative and social media marketing so you don’t have to. Genevieve’s strength is her keen outside perspective and sometimes infuriating logic that puts structure to dreams and lays out paths to goals. She is also never without a red pen.
Genevieve has lead workshops on branding, marketing and social media at the Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs, California College of the Arts, TechShop and through ArtSpan. She is a contributing blogger for Paper n Stitch, writes the Savvy Entrepreneur column for the SF Etsy Street Team blog along with being an active member of team.
