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!

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.

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.
