When I decided to self-publish my first poetry book, I had to figure everything out from scratch. The design, the printing, the distribution, the marketing. None of it was in one place.
So I built that resource myself.
The Self Publishing Guide covers everything I learned, from manuscript to market. Available now on my Contra shop.

Are you looking to super-charge your prompt workflow?
I spent weeks training a few different Claude sessions on everything I know about creative process, web development, and onboarding clients to get some of the most common tools I use into an instruction document for AI. You can use these to quick-start different projects with Claude or any other LLM to help you get your project off the ground with less effort.
Just drop your .md file into the LLM and get working. Each .md file comes with a quick instruction guide to help you navigate the tool.
There are file tools at the moment: Client Onboarding, Web Dev kick-start, Motion Design project planning, Brand Voice training, and a prompting toolkit.

This is really interesting. Building structured AI workflows for things like client onboarding and creative processes is a huge time saver for freelancers. Curious to see how others are integrating systems like this into their daily workflow. Great initiative sharing this! 🚀
Just dropped my new personal site. And for the first time, not in Framer...
Built with Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and a bunch of other tools I've been wanting to experiment with.
I had so much fun experimenting, iterating, falling down rabbit holes and fixing weird bugs. Learned a ton along the way & built a process I'll definitely be re-using and improving.
The site has my latest projects, client testimonials, some writing, and a little about me page that was probably the most fun to put together. Check it out and let me know what you think.
