Peek inside the Kitchen

Welcome to the messy–but-useful shelf of things I actually use, read, or recommend. Think of it like opening my cupboards: you’ll find sourdough starters, favorite pens, books with coffee stains, and platforms that keep my creative business humming.

Freebies & Creative Snacks

A few from-scratch treats I baked for you

🫶🏻 Taylor Swift Eras Quiz Freebie → Find out which business season you’re in (yes, Taylor-coded!) and what to focus on next. Think of it like your creative horoscope, but with eras.

🍪 Ugly Cookie Workbook → A mini email series workbook that helps you audit your brand and discover your “signature flavor.” If your brand feels a little messy, this will help you turn crumbs into something delicious.

✒️ Notes from the Vault (a.k.a. my blog) → Right now it’s tiny, but this is where I expand on ideas that don’t fit into a 30-second reel. If you want the deeper dive, this is the spot.

Courses & Learning for Designers

I wouldn’t be where I am without The Brief Collective: they’re the design mentors I didn’t know I needed. If you’re a designer, these are worth checking out:

🧡 Free Community for Designers → A welcoming space to connect with other designers, swap insights, and not feel alone in the wild west of freelancing.

🦋 Social Butterfly Club → A membership focused on social media and coaching, tailored for designers. Because generic “just post more” advice doesn’t cut it.

🎓 DBA University → A full course that teaches you how to actually build your design business from the ground up. My business wouldn’t be the same without it.

Platforms I Swear By

These are the tools I use every single day in my business — tested, loved, and cat-approved:

💻 Showit → My ride-or-die for web design. Flexible, creative, and perfect for building sites that actually feel like you.

💌 Flodesk → Where I design all my emails. Bonus: you get 50% off your first year with my link!

🥐 Kitchen.co → The client portal that keeps projects organized and stress-free. Because chaos doesn’t belong in client communication. (also isn't it iconic that my client portal is literally named Kitchen? So on brand eheh)

🎁 Interact → My secret weapon for creating high-converting quizzes (like the Taylor Swift one above!). Playful for your audience, strategic for your biz.

📝 Tally.so → Clean, beautiful forms that don’t feel like homework. Perfect for applications, questionnaires, or feedback forms. I'm on the free plan and it works great!

📱Superprofile → Helps me automate stuff on social media in a way that feels not overwhelming.

☕ Tiny Note: Some of these are affiliate links, which means if you click, I might earn, like… an espresso’s worth of commission. Sometimes you also get a discount  (win–win!)
This isn’t a glossy “must-have” list, it’s just a peek into my world. Take what you need, leave what you don’t, and if you try something, tell me so we can geek out about it together.
