Why Cupcakes & Haystacks?

Tap on the cupcakes below to learn more about what sets my courses and templates apart from all the other options out there!

I first started dabbling in digital planners back in 2018. Back then, they weren't quite as common as they are now and courses teaching how to create them were unheard of.

So, I taught myself! I played, experimented, received feedback from customers, and perfected my designs. As a result, not only were my designs completely different from any other digital planners being sold, but my design process was unique to me as well!

When you take one of my courses, you will not be learning information that I gleaned off of other creators and their courses/tutorials. You will be learning methods and techniques that I discovered for myself and that are proven in my own beautiful digital planners and journals!

Whether you are creating from scratch or customizing templates, you'll receive detailed video tutorials walking you through each step of your creation process.

The videos move at a pace that will allow you to watch me complete each step in real time. This means that, if you like, you can choose to work right alongside me!

Psst - are you an advanced creator? I'll provide you with tips on how to uplevel your designs as well!

Creating and selling digital planners and journals is a freaking AMAZING way to earn passive income! However, purchasing my courses and templates is not a way to "get rich quick" and I will never claim otherwise. Building your own online business (and ANY business for that matter) will take time, work, and a genuine passion for your creations.

So, if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and go all in - then you and I, Lovely, are going to be a perfect fit!

A few design tutorials (and freebies) I think you'll LOVE!
