A creative life is messy, but it doesn’t have to suck.

Here you’ll find resources, tools, and encouragement to help you feel organized (enough), productive (sometimes), and inspired (always).

I’m Janelle!

I’m a graphic designer, artist, small business owner, tinkerer, youtuber, + professional nerd.

Tell me a mistake that a freelancer could make and I bet I have a story of how I’ve done it too.

But now I’m flourishing as a creative entrepreneur, working full-time on projects I love. I want to help you get there faster and with less hair-pulling.

Between Projects

My bi-weekly roundup of all the stuff I’d share over coffee.

Mini essays, open tabs, and things that spark new ideas while I’m procrastinating between deadlines. I hate super polished marketing emails so this is more like a studio visit, but in your inbox. And with snacks, ideally.
