The first time I opened InDesign, I was completely overwhelmed, scared to click anything and super frustrated. I watched endless hours of tutorials and YouTube clips trying to figure out how to do simple thing. It was a neverending process. I decided right then and there to abandon all hope and never use it again. I deleted it from my computer and then for good measure, I emptied the Trash.

Next began the Endless Search I wore out that Google Search box with “InDesign Alternatives” that would allow me to create beautiful digital downloads. I wasted months of my life trying to force Canva, PicMonkey and Microsoft Word into doing things they were enver intended to do. I even wrote to the developers at Canva asking them to improve their software features or come out with more templates that would fit my needs.

And then there was light! Luckily, I stumbled across Kelsey Baldwin’s InDesign Field Guide. It was pretty amazing and completely awesome at walking me through the basics. After that, I joined InDesign Secrets and then re-watched all of the supposedly beginner Lynda, Pluralsight and Skillshare tutorials. Everything was starting to come together!

My InDesign Services & Store Were Born Next, I started providing custom InDesign work for clients. I did everything from planners to workbooks to wedding invitiations. But there was still something missing: MY OWN PERSONAL STYLE & BRANDING.

So I decided to do less client work and focus more on creating my own designs and sharing those with you.

I’m so excited you’re here! I’m going to make the InDesign learning curve less scary. You don’t need to know everything. But you do need to understand a few basic techniques to start editing InDesign Templates.. . . and I know i t ’s scary! I’ve been there; I know how it feels. The important thing is, you’re taking action!

Alright, let’s do this!

WHO’S STOPPING YOU?

Is it you...Is it that Negative Nancy you call your best friend, your partner or your family mem-ber? Sometimes we’re our own worst enemies and other times we allow doubt and fear into our lives that stop us from fulfilling our true destinies.

YOU ARE IN CONTROL

You decide who enters your sphere of influence and more importantly, who must exit. Decide right now today that you are on the path to positivity, productivity & peace.

Eliminate anyone and anything that stands between you and the life you want.

How do you decide? Do you find yourself saying “no” instead of saying “yes”? (Or maybe you find yourself saying “yes” to things you really wish you said “no” to, and now you have no time to say “yes” to what you WANT to?)

Being miserable is a choice. You are NOT a victim. You can change your life.

Choose not to look at the glass being half empty vs. half full. Choose to surround yourself with people who will lift you up and not bring you down.

Trust me. I’ve been there. So much, in fact, that I told myself for 2 years I wasn’t pretty enough or smart enough or good enough to have an amazing relationship or run a business.

So I didn’t.

You know what changed…I did. I stopped talking to toxic people out of obligation. I stopped feeling guilty for saying no AND FOUND more time & space for activities and people I loved and who loved and supported me and my dreams.

Your dreams matter.

Your passion projects and dreams are real things

And they can be your future reality

If you can dream it,then YOU CAN DO IT.

Anyone who disagrees is not on your team

and doesn’t deserve a spot in your life

Save those slots for people who believe in you
