Business Tips and Resources

for Artists and Designers

Back in 2012, I started an art blog…

In 2012, I embarked on an exciting adventure with the launch of A Place for Creation, an art blog that quickly blossomed into a dynamic community of around 500 creatives. This space was more than just a blog—it became a thriving hub where artists and designers could connect, share their journeys, and lift each other up. The community’s energy and passion even gave rise to the #bigartboost on Twitter, a movement that celebrated creativity and collaboration.

Over the years, A Place for Creation was a canvas for sharing inspiration, offering support, and exchanging valuable insights. It was a place where creativity thrived, and connections were forged. However, as my client work expanded and my focus shifted towards growing my business, I made the difficult decision to transition away from this project after five years.

Although the work I do has evolved, the spirit of APFC lives on through this page. Here, you’ll find an archive of the business tips and resources developed during that era. While my current offerings have shifted focus, I’ve included some fresh resources that might still resonate with your creative journey.

Explore this page to uncover tools and insights that continue to empower and inspire. Whether you’re revisiting old favourites or discovering something new, I hope you’ll find value in these resources as you navigate your creative business path.

  • Plan out Reels/TikToks – Including music

The things that made the last year in business 10x easier

Around this time last year, I wrote this in my diary because I was overwhelmed and desperately needed change. For years, I thought that hustling harder was the key to success. If I just did more, launched more, and worked more, I’d finally feel on top of all of my...
