Cover image for StreamStash: Streamline Finances for Digital Creators

StreamStash is a fintech platform built for digital creators — musicians, streamers, vloggers, influencers, and online entrepreneurs — to organize, track, and access their earnings across multiple platforms in one place. The idea behind StreamStash is simple: Creators today make money from many different sources: Streaming revenue Brand deals YouTube monetization TikTok payouts Affiliate income Merchandise sales Donations and subscriptions Sponsorships But all of those payments arrive at different times, on different platforms, with different payout rules. StreamStash acts like a financial command center for creators. What It Does Unified Creator Dashboard Creators can connect multiple income platforms and view: Total earnings Pending payouts Monthly revenue trends Platform performance Estimated future income Faster Access to Earnings One of the platform’s goals is reducing the long wait creators face before getting paid. StreamStash is designed to support: Instant payouts Early payout access Revenue advances Flexible withdrawal systems Especially for independent creators who rely on consistent cash flow. AI Financial Assistant A future-facing part of StreamStash is AI-powered creator finance support. The AI layer could: Forecast upcoming income Analyze spending patterns Suggest budgeting strategies Predict slow revenue periods Recommend growth opportunities Help creators understand taxes and business finances Not replacing accountants — more like giving creators a smart financial operations assistant. Why It Matters Most creator tools focus on content creation. StreamStash focuses on the business side of being a creator. That matters because a lot of talented creators: don’t understand cash flow, get paid inconsistently, struggle with taxes, or can’t scale because their finances are fragmented. StreamStash aims to make creators feel less like freelancers surviving month-to-month and more like actual digital businesses. Positioning The platform sits somewhere between: creator economy tools, digital banking, creator analytics, and fintech infrastructure. Think: “Plaid + Stripe + creator analytics + AI finance copilot for creators.” And frankly, the creator economy still has a giant hole here. Everybody wants creators to make content. Very few companies are helping creators build financial stability.

Cover image for For Kendall Tenor’s latest release,

For Kendall Tenor’s latest release, I handled motion graphics across the rollout, including the YouTube intro, visualizers, and supporting graphics for the music videos. I love building visual worlds that feel beautiful, emotional, and a little experimental. If you are an artist or a brand with a project coming up and you want visuals that actually connect, I would love to collaborate.
