FAQ

How do you provide your services?

My services are provided at a distance via video calls, as well as through document review, video analysis, and ongoing support between meetings. With years of experience working remotely, I’ve developed efficient methods to guide teams through creative, technical, and administrative processes — without being in the gym, at competitions, or on site.

Can I still keep my own style while working with you?

This is the most important questions of them all!. Absolutely. My goal is never to overwrite your artistic voice it’s to help you clarify, elevate, and support it. I bring an outside perspective rooted in years of experience, and I work with your design style and vision. Whether your show is abstract, narrative, minimalist, or theatrical, I’ll help you shape it into something that communicates powerfully and scores confidently while still feeling like you.

When in the season should I start working with you?

I can help at any stage of the creative process from brainstorming in pre-season to making final edits in late season. The earlier we connect, the more flexibility you’ll have to shape your show intentionally, but many designers reach out mid-season for feedback or direction when they feel stuck. Whether you’re refining details or starting fresh, I’ll meet you where you are.

Do I need to have a full show or map already built?

Not at all. Some designers come with a full storyboard and others with just a concept or piece of music. I can help you develop ideas from scratch or work with what you’ve already created. My role is to help you make intentional choices, not add pressure so wherever you’re starting from, you’ll leave with more clarity and direction.

Hi, my name is Cynthia Bernard

Guard has always been part of my life: I live and breathe Color Guard and Drum Corps. I’ve been fortunate to grow alongside some of the best in our activity. Coming from Canada, I’ve also learned to be resourceful, creative, and resilient in the face of limited access. These lessons shaped the way I support others in reaching their highest potential.
