“Claudia understood what needed to stay in the manuscript, what needed to be enhanced and what needed to go. I trusted her judgment completely. She encouraged me to think big, not to hide behind shadows, to believe in myself and in my ability as a writer. Her support and encouragement was invaluable to me and I have no doubt it will always be there.”

OUR ORIGIN STORY

A message from Claudia Boutote:
When I decided to launch a studio to assist authors, experts, brands, and institutions to take conscious action and reach their highest potential, I chose to invoke the essence of the raven, spirit birds of alchemy and transformation.
Ravens have been called upon by healers, shamans, and guides since ancient times. Highly intelligent, they symbolize birth and renewal. They are shapeshifters—masters of time and other dimensions that focus your intention and facilitate acts of creation. They are thought to bring messages from the divine.
If you are a red raven, you are in the
 right place.
Red ravens are the stuff of legends and magic, and that is how we see our clients: those who inspire, guide, and shine the light forward to something greater.
Red ravens stand out from the crowd; they are mythic.
