WHY THIS NEWSLETTER’S FOR YOU
Creating for a living isn’t easy.
When you’re a designer, freelancer, or artist, your creativity isn’t just a passion—it’s how you pay the bills. But let’s be real:
💼 The daily grind of the same clients, same deadlines, and same problems can suck the joy out of creating.
🥵 Burnout creeps in, and suddenly, every idea feels forced, or worse, nonexistent.
🙂↕️ You’re juggling work that pays with work you actually care about—and sometimes, neither feels satisfying.
WHAT YOU‘LL GET
No fluff.
Just real advice.
Every weekly email is packed with insights that help you:
☄️ Eliminate burnout and reignite your creative spark—even during the busiest weeks.
🏆 Get recognised for your ideas and make an impact in your team.
📢 Lead projects and influence decisions.
💡 Re-inspire monotonous routines without losing your unique creative edge.
Plus, when you sign up, you’ll get my free Unstuck guide: 21 proven prompts to obliterate creative block and bring your ideas to life👇🏻
ABOUT ME
Hey, I’m Christie B ✨
Ex-Designer with Google, Art Director, and now a Creative Career Coach, helping creatives excel at work.
I’ve been where you are—working as a designer in agencies, studios, juggling deadlines, managing burnout, with the pressure to stay creative. Now, I’m a Creative Career Coach, helping designers, freelancers, and artists get recognised at work without sacrificing their wellbeing.
I love sharing the timeless strategies I learnt from my 13+ years in the industry, building my community, and helping others figure out how to get recognised for their ideas while staying sane. I’m also a bit of a silly billy who believes that finding balance is just as important as finding brilliance.
