VEO is a strategic advisory project designed for artists navigating today’s creative economy.
We help artists build long-term, independent practices that are professionally structured, financially informed, and deeply aligned with their voice. Whether it’s pricing, positioning, or partnerships—we help artists make decisions that last.
The Story Behind VEO.
VEO is my way of offering artists the kind of support I wish more of us had.
As the cofounder of ONBD—a cultural hub at the intersection of art, technology, and finance—we’ve spent the past few years curating exhibitions, building platforms, and collaborating with artists around the world. Through that work, I kept seeing the same pattern: artists doing everything themselves. Managing spreadsheets. Tracking collectors. Writing bios and contracts. Trying to understand markets that often feel abstract or inaccessible…
That’s why I started VEO.
While ONBD continues to explore broader cultural landscapes—through content, curation, and digital infrastructure—VEO focuses on the individual artist. It’s built to offer structure and clarity where things often feel chaotic: how to price your work, how to grow sustainably, how to build a practice that supports your art and your life.
This is not a top-down service. It’s collaborative. Rooted in care. Whether it starts with a spreadsheet or a strategy call, VEO exists to walk alongside artists—offering tools, insight, and guidance grounded in real experience.
Because creative work deserves a strong foundation. And artists deserve a team on their side.
