your brand deserves better than duct-taped systems and a Dropbox full of half-baked resources.
These are the tools that actually pull their weight. The ones I come back to again and again because they help me (and my clients) sound better, show up smarter, and run a brand that actually feels good to run.
All of the tools and resources on this page have been battle tested by me and I end up winning by:

In other words: fewer tools, better decisions, less cleanup later.
I’ll keep adding to this list as I test new resources... not because they’re trending, but because they actually hold up in real business conditions.
Wait... I almost forgot something. Because I am uber excited to see your brand grow and flourish I am offering a 30 minute "how do I use this" consultation for $47 on anything you buy through one of my links. Woozaaa!

center-stage tools
For when you’re ready to show up, speak up, clearly, and stop second-guessing what your brand is saying.
appsumo
software marketplace
Smart tools without long-term regret. AppSumo is where I go before committing to expensive software. It’s how I test tools, explore systems, and pressure-check functionality without locking myself into a monthly bill I’ll resent later.
camtasia
video editing software
Say it once. Say it clearly. Reuse it forever. Camtasia lets you explain things without repeating yourself. Clean screen recordings, clear audio, and just enough editing power to stay professional without becoming a video editor.
x
later
social media scheduling
Plan visibility without living on your phone. Later helps you see your content before it goes live, which sounds small until you realize how many bad decisions happen when you’re posting in a rush. It’s calm, visual, and keeps your message consistent across platforms.
mailchimp

zoom

Because sometimes clarity requires a conversation. Zoom isn’t exciting, but it’s dependable. When a decision needs context, nuance, or a real human moment, this is still the fastest way to get aligned without chaos.

behind-the-scenes magic
Tools that quietly keep things running while you’re busy doing the important work.
Canva
graphic design app
For when “good enough” actually needs to be good. Canva is how I move fast without making visual decisions I’ll regret later. It keeps things clean, consistent, and usable without turning every asset into a full design project.
creative market
Design assets marketplace
Shortcuts that don’t look like shortcuts. Creative Market is where I go when I need fonts, templates, or assets that don’t scream “default.” For me, it’s the difference between borrowing design and borrowing taste.
depositphotos
STOCK PHOTOS
Stock photos that don’t feel like stock. photos. Depositphotos is great when I need images that don't feel intentional staged, awkward, or painfully obvious. Nothing kills credibility faster than phoned in visuals.
MightyDeals
design marketplace
Smart finds without the impulse buy regret. MightyDeals is where I grab design assets, tools, and resources selectively. Not everything needs to be premium-priced. It just needs to be useful.
moo
printed marketing materials
Print that actually represents your brand. Moo is what I use when physical materials matter: business cards, postcards, or anything you hand to another human. Because if you’re going to print it, it should feel intentional.
brain-saves + energy hacks
Because your time is expensive and your attention is not infinite.
acuity
appointment scheduler
Scheduling without the back-and-forth.
Acuity handles booking without turning your inbox into a game of calendar Tetris. People pick a time. You show up. No emails. No confusion. No rescheduling spiral.
dubsado
Fan + project management system
Admin that doesn’t eat your week. Dubsado is how I keep contracts, invoices, and workflows from living in my head. It makes the boring parts of business predictable so they stop draining creative energy.
lastpass
password security
Stop remembering things you don’t need to. LastPass holds passwords so your brain doesn’t have to do it. Because the fastest way to lose momentum is getting locked out of your own systems.

membership management platform
Deliver content without duct tape. MemberVault is for hosting content, resources, or programs without overbuilding.
Clean. Flexible. No “platform panic” required.
trello
project management
Seeing the work without overcomplicating. it. Trello is how I track projects without turning planning into performance art. Clearly see what’s happening... next... can wait.
