For Business

A focused one-on-one mentor session for designers seeking support with their creative business and craft. I’ve found real fulfillment in working with three different designers so far with focuses ranging from business boundaries, client comms, self-trust and mindset to design process, squarespace dev, platform/program choice and general workflows. If this resonates, I would love to work with you.

For Creativity

A short and pithy reminder that your voice, your instinct, your specificity are what make the work matter. Feck Perfuction is an easy read of short chapters that land with an obvious force; naming the sameness and pressure that numb us into subconscious submission, and returning us to our root - the werid, creative, artist within us that the world actually needs.

For Design / Dev

The original digital index of public domain assets for research, reference and visual inspiration. I often use the wayback machine to capture old client sites, but recently have been pulling design inspiration and copyright-free media from the search engine archives itself. It is, in both function and feeling, a digital library across almost every media format — a more original and rewarding alternative.
