For Business

My time-tracking template with built-in value insights; This tool includes keyboard shortcuts (auto-filling current date/time), a clean hour ledger for invoicing, and pre-set equations to show your actual earnings (or loss) against fixed-rate project work. Developing the habit of time tracking was the hardest part for me, but I've refined this template for daily use and clear insights - helping me learn to understand my time's value and adjust accordingly. Intro video walkthrough included.

For Creativity

This tool for finding quality remote workspaces; I love my home office and its inherent convenience, but I've consistently noticed a shift in both focus and mood during weeks when I work from a fresh energy and environment. It's not perfect, but I appreciate Workfrom's practical search filters, user reviews, and helpful details (like wifi passwords, available outlets, and noise levels).

For Design / Dev

My notion database of web design inspiration libraries that I use for research and reference for my web projects. Some are type-forward, some squarespace-specific, and most are easily searchable by style, type, industry, or platform. (Sidenote - I’ve also found this and this email-design-specific platforms that have been valuable for recent client work!)
