Creative pea

I used to plan my workouts with YouTube videos and my Notion tracker.
It worked — until it didn’t.
And honestly? Some business websites built without a designer are in that same phase.
I wrote about the moment that made that clear — and why structure matters more than hustle.

The answer is... it all depends.

What's your current situation like?
Do you have a clear business message?
Is your brand identity in place or still in progress? Do you love your logo or is it due for a redesign?

If you're somewhere in between - not quite DIY and not ready to outsource - this blog is for you!

Not booked out.
Not burned out.
And to be honest… I’m not even sure I want to be. 🌷
I’m building slow, steady, and in a way that still lets me show up for my family. 🪻
My dream goal?👩🏻‍💻
1–2 huge projects a month —
paid well, priced at standard design rates,
with breathing room between each one.
Not 20 small ones that take over my weeks.
Still grateful for what’s here now…
just dreaming a little bigger. 🤍
But I also see my kiddos and this little life we’re building… and I want to reach our goals sooner.
So I keep showing up — even when it’s not flashy.
Because I’m investing my time in my business now so there’s no writing proposals in the after-hours,no more back-and-forth emails,
just a calm, seamless client process that works for everyone — including me.

Grateful for the incredible coaches and designer friends at for making this journey less lonely.

And shoutout to Emma for leading such an inspiring Content Lab today — and for this prompt idea that got me reflecting. 🤍

Web Designer vs. Web Developer: How to Know Who You Need (And Why you might want Both)

If you've ever opened a website builder, picked a template, then suddenly realized you also needed a booking form, a contact page, password protection, and SEO settings — and somehow ended up deep in a YouTube rabbit hole at midnight—you’re not alone.

Remember the days of doodling for hours? 🍭 Today, I wanted to draw like a kid and started to remember the art club my friend Raquel and I started within our families. It was exclusive to middle children—our older sisters were too cool, and younger brothers were busy being little boogers. We had plans to sell our art for 25 cents… I wonder what we thought we could buy! So, here’s to channeling my inner ‘90s kid 🎨✨ What did you love to draw as a kid?

Late-night sketch vibes ✍️ featuring my dear friend and former boss! I saw you volunteer to be my next muse 😉, so here’s a little refresher sketch. It’s not the detailed portrait I promised, but it was the perfect way to end the night. 2 sketches in one day woohoo!
Ready for more soon!

No progress video here—just me, my markers, and the peace of creating without a tripod or pauses. This sketch was done during a moment of meditation, a time to sit with my feelings. But sitting with your emotions doesn’t always have to mean sadness, depression, or anxiety. Sometimes, it’s about being calm, reflecting on difficult situations, and regulating your thoughts enough to really dissect them. I got lost in the process with some Twilight soundtrack playing, and by the end, I felt so grounded.

This week has been filled with back-to-back doctor appointments for the kiddos, and I’ve fallen behind on a few things. But it’s okay—these moments don’t weigh me down. One day at a time. 🌸🌷🌼🌻🌿

Nature’s sweet and tarty cotton candy

🎨Just finished a watercolor of a guanábana! My dad cut one up to share, and I couldn’t resist doing a still life.
