For Designers

I’m a self taught designer, through and through. I’ve never taken a design course in my life.

Sometimes I look back at the beginning stages of […]

In my business, I prioritize simplicity and enjoyment. I firmly believe in the “addition by subtraction” philosophy, always seeking ways to streamline processes, enhance client experiences, and save time and money for all of us.

This post is going to be short and sweet. It’s no surprise that I have trouble focusing and staying on track. I talked about it in this former post, Tackling Depression and Burnout As A Creative Entrepreneur. I especially struggle with tasks that require the creative part of my brain to be firing at all […]

Funnily enough, none of these books are actually about business. I’m a huge fan of mindfulness, and any book that challenges me to look at my life and mindset through a new, more analytical lens will teach me more about entrepreneurship than any “business” book will ever provide.
