Hey creative friend,

Easter weekend always feels like a gentle reset—a time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. 🌸 Whether you’re celebrating or simply savoring a quiet weekend, I hope this note finds you in a moment of rest and inspiration.

My parents are visiting 🥰 and I’ll be spending time with my cousins and extended family—wishing you a joyful and creative Easter!

FREE Guide: AI + Creative Process

You don’t need to be tech-savvy or create digital art to start collaborating with AI. If you’ve ever wished for a studio assistant to help brainstorm ideas, remix your work, or organize your thoughts—you might love what AI can do for your creative process.

Today, I’m sharing a new resource:

“25 Ways to Use AI in Your Creative Practice”

It’s a curated list of playful and practical ideas for integrating tools like ChatGPT, Canva AI, and Dream Lab into your sketchbook, content planning, color palettes, and creative workflows.

You’ll also get a preview of the creative systems and prompts I use in my workflow and that I’ll share inside the upcoming Studio Storyboard Workshop (opening soon!). Click here and you’ll be automatically added to the waitlist and get updates →​

ACCESS 25 IDEAS FREE GUIDE

This isn’t about replacing your creativity—it’s about expanding it. AI can act as a creative mirror, helping you reflect, remix, and reimagine what’s already inside you.

Inside the guide, you’ll discover how to:

• Generate sketchbook prompts based on your themes
• Explore color palettes from paintings or photos
• Identify creative threads in past projects
• Outline classes or tutorials using your archive
• Remix your art for moodboards and motif variations

Whether you’re planning a collection, building a course, or simply exploring new ideas—this guide is a gentle, inspiring place to begin. Click here to access the FREE guide​
