New video out with my friend ‪@KatieWesterlind‬ on the season finale for her On Topic interview series on Substack 💌

Inspired by Cosmo magazines and her love for chatting with cool people about their niche interests. Our episode is all about end-of-year reflections, love and community, working through scarcity, getting into everyday magic and whimsy, and more
(the baker's dozen rapid fire questions were my fav 🤭)

Grab a bevie and enjoy ☕️☎️

I finally finished something I started a year ago — The Creative Audit Guidebook 🥰

It’s a clarity tool for creatives and entrepreneurs who feel like they’ve outgrown their brand but don’t know where to start.

The Mini version is Free (yes, it’s a whole Free.99)
The full version is now officially out.

If you’ve been craving structure, clarity, and a bit of a designer’s perspective before the new year… this one’s for you ✨

Branding isn’t just about looking good — it’s about creating an experience that works for you.
More time, more freedom, more flow.

If you’re building a brand (or dreaming about one) that feels like home to you and your dream clients, this is for you. 🌸

🎥 New video coming soon!!
