Menu of Creative tools

Welcome subscriber! Here is my exclusive list of tools that I use daily for my creative business. I hope these help you out as I only share things that I actually use and enjoy! I will update this when I find more resources I love, so make sure to bookmark this link on your browser!

Please note that some of the links on this page are affiliate links which means that I make a tiny commission for recommending a service or product when you purchase at no extra cost to you! This just helps me provide more content to you. I appreciate your support!

Procreate Brushes I use and purchased

These are the brushes I recently purchased and used in my recent artwork! I like to combine a bit of all the brush sets to get a variety of textures and effects.

  • Bundle Full Collection Brush & Color Palettes | 41 Procreate Brushes & 120 Colors | by Asia Orlando
  • The Gladdest Thing Texture Brush Pack (10 Procreate Brushes)
  • Grid Builder – Layout Composer by Ian Barnard
  • Letter Builder by Ian Barnard

The Future YouTube videos

  • Their videos give so much value for free like how to talk to low-paying clients and how to negotiate your services to get paid what you deserve! There is also a series where they help young designers on how to build their design portfolios and how to freelance as a designer. I highly recommend it! They have two channels: The Futur & The Futur Acadamy

The Wave App

This is the “accounting” program that I use right now. It is a free app/website where you can send invoices, estimates, receive payments, etc. They are coming out with more features soon like bookkeeping and a business card which I am looking into. This is great for those who are just starting out like me. Check it out!

Podcasts you should listen to

  • This year I have recently been into podcasts. I love learning from others and this is a great way to listen to other’s advice and tips. These are my favorites:

    • The Uncool Designer : A graphic designer and mentor who helps women work smarter, not harder, in their design business.
    • The Ikkons : A great podcast that talks about life and business life. They are great at talking about positive mindset and life balance. 
    • The Starving Artist: All about creative freelancing! Two amazing letterers talk about their tips and life as freelancers.

Starting a business can be stressful.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After starting my own business last year, I was using as many free resources as I could but quickly realized that it was taking too much of my time putting together invoices, sending contracts, proposals, design proofs, etc. When my last business coach recommended @MyDubsado, it changed the game!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are a service-based business that manages clients online, I highly recommend Dubsado, especially to my fellow designers, VAs, SMM, and other creatives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Mushrooms + packaging? You read that right! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mycelium is a new sustainable packaging that could replace less environmentally friendly options, such as plastic and polystyrene. It is a completely organic, farm-grown material made from the roots of a mushroom. The roots grow around a mold to form a custom structure which holds products safely and securely in transit. (as written by WildsmithSkin.com).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To make this natural material strong enough to package various products through transit, corn and barley husks are mixed in. But it's not just used for hugging your precious product during a bumpy delivery truck ride, it has also been used for insulation panels and interior design products such as furniture! Cool right?

If you had a magic wand, what would you fix in you If you had a magic wand, what would you fix in your business? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Too shy to share? It’s ok, I’ll go first. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I had a magic wand, I would fix my Imposter Syndrome, Being more consistent and impactful with my content, and my back pain from sitting for hours working on the computer. These are some things I am personally working on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How about you? What are some things you would like to change in your business? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of the most important values at Yumyum Designs One of the most important values at Yumyum Designs is…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Communication! We all have heard that communication is key in relationships. Well, I believe that the same applies to business. Without it, many problems arise.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The client gets surprised that there are added fees in their invoice, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤔 They may misinterpret that vague email (from either side), ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😓 You may not end up with the information you needed for their branding⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😖 They end up not trusting you and start designing things behind your back without a strategy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ya, I’ve heard many horror stories about that. That is why I put as much effort into constantly checking in with my clients, making them part of the process, and try my best at setting expectations at the beginning of our time together (one way that I do this is with my Welcome Guide).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you value most? I would love to know!
May there be love, quality time, and gratitude in May there be love, quality time, and gratitude in the air this Valentine’s Day. I hope you are able to safely spend time with your significant other or family during these times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just want to show my appreciation for you and this community for being so supportive of me. Thank you!! Be sure to show your appreciation and love to those around you who have helped you during this difficult time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How are you spending your time this weekend? I personally am taking a well-deserved break this weekend with my lovely boyfriend of 6 years!! Lol doesn't seem like that long of a time that we first met. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be Safe and spread the love (from your home).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(Lol, this is me chilling in a pool of sprinkles and dreaming of having a cone of strawberry ice cream in my hand.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
