You've made mistakes that cost you time, money, or clients – and you'd rather have a practical resource than learn everything from scratch.
Not a course. Not a coaching program. Just a clear, practical tool you can open today and apply to your next project.
You take your work seriously and want the professional basics in place – so you can focus on the craft, not the chaos.
About me
I've been freelancing for 7+ years – working with brands like Adobe, Google, Shake Shack, WestJet, and Dell on illustration systems, packaging, murals, and motion graphics. I also run Deeply, an independent design studio, where I bring together the right people for the right projects.
I started art·apart because I know both sides of the table – as a freelancer and as someone who hires other creatives. That experience showed me how much goes unsaid between clients and creatives, and how much easier things get when someone just talks about it honestly.
That's what this newsletter is. Honest stories, practical advice, and the stuff nobody prepares you for.
I also love coaching creative freelancers on the business side of what we do – pricing, clients, process, portfolio, positioning. The things that don't come with the portfolio.
Kind words
"I have been following you for the past few months, and I have seriously felt seen and also found a wealth of information from you. On really hard days, it's been so nice to know someone else has been there too. Been a long-time lurker and learner from you, and thank you for your insight!"
"Your insights are precious and I'm glad you're sharing them with us."
"Thank you very much for speaking your mind and sharing all your gorgeous content. I've been following you for a while now, and knowing about you makes me feel less on my own as a freelancer and illustrator."
