Meet the Founder

Colleen Finn - Designer. Illustrator. Educator. Creative Coach.


After more than two decades of teaching and mentoring creatives, Colleen created The Moody Tiger — her coaching platform for Creatives who find themselves stuck and in need of rekindling their fire. Over time, she realized that instead of just helping people pull themselves out of the quicksand, she could create a space designed to keep that forward momentum going.

"I see so many Creatives lose touch with their joy —  from fear of layoffs, having great ideas squashed at their jobs, drifting too far up the ladder and away from the actual making, or just being too busy adulting.

After teaching for so many years and seeing the current state of higher education, I just wanted to do it differently. I wanted a deep bench of teachers who are here because of their heart, talent, and passion — not because of where they’re published or what their research topic may be. I wanted students who are craving to reconnect with their most creative selves.

I believe that Creatives are special — and that we all have an obligation to nurture our talents and share them with the world, making a positive impact on those around us, while never straying from the path toward our potential."

Can't wait to meet you!
