What no one tells you about marketing until business gets quiet...
Once upon a time, in 2018, when I had just started working remotely, a client asked me a very reasonable question: “Do you have a website?”This was after I had just designed her website.And I said, “Erm… I don’t have time.”To which she replied, “well the cobbler’s children had no shoes.“Three years later, I finally built my own site, out of necessity.And suddenly, instead of explaining every single thing I did from scratch, I had somewhere to send people. My website became part of the ecosystem:

I hit $10K in earnings a few days ago and received so many messages asking what I did differently.
honestly, the only thing that really helped me was stopping the overthinking.I stopped thinking about all the possibilities. Stopped thinking about when it would happen. Stopped waiting for the perfect moment.
I just started taking action.

When u started Contra btw?
17 years in prison. No real childhood. No normal life.
The drug world was all he knew.
Until one day, he decided he was done.
Done with prison. Done with the choices that kept pulling him back. Done with the life he had always known.
JC chose a different path and then decided to help others do the same.
He founded Wrong To Strong to support inmates and their family as they prepare to leave prison, helping them make that walk home with hope, guidance, and the tools to build a better life.
Because getting out of prison is one thing. Building a life you don’t want to escape from is another.
It was an absolute pleasure working with JC and helping him bring his mission to life by setting up his Kajabi website and academy.
This was so much more than building a website. It was about helping create a platform that can give people a real second chance.
Beautiful. This is what makes a project truly meaningful.
Considered Plan Studio is a founder-led digital-product brand created to help small businesses, consultants and independent marketers turn complex goals into clear, actionable plans.
I developed the concept from the ground up—identifying the customer opportunity, defining the brand positioning and voice, establishing the visual direction, and translating my marketing experience into a focused portfolio of practical planning tools.
The initial product range includes a comprehensive 2027 Marketing Planner, a four-year marketing growth framework and an Excel-based Campaign Kit. I also developed the product architecture, customer instructions, licensing terms, pricing strategy, marketplace copy, SEO tags and promotional assets required for launch.
The central challenge was balancing strategic depth with simplicity. Many planning templates are either visually appealing but too generic, or comprehensive but difficult to use. Considered Plan Studio was designed to sit between those extremes: thoughtfully structured, professionally presented and immediately useful.
The result is a cohesive digital-product studio with a repeatable system for moving from customer insight to product development, positioning and commercial launch.
