Empowering creatives to master their finances, so they can focus on what they love—creating.

I’ve always had a passion for helping fellow creatives navigate the tricky waters of personal finance. After years of juggling gigs and managing inconsistent income, I realized there was a real gap in resources tailored specifically for people like us—artists, designers, and freelancers who thrive on creativity but often struggle with the business side of things. That’s why I dive deep into topics like budgeting, saving, and investing, making them relatable and accessible for those of us who might not have a finance background. My mission is to empower creatives to take control of their finances while allowing them the freedom to focus on what they love best—creating.

Outside of finance, I love cooking up a storm in the kitchen and experimenting with new recipes from all over the world. There’s something so satisfying about blending flavors and creating a dish that’s both delicious and aesthetically pleasing. When I’m not cooking, you can usually find me lost in a good book or trying my hand at watercolor painting, which is a fantastic outlet for me and a gentle reminder that creativity and finance can indeed coexist harmoniously. Oh, and I have an insatiable sweet tooth—if there’s dessert involved, I’m there! What about you—what creative endeavors light you up?
