HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

 

Squarespace

There's no one right answer for everyone. What suits a full-time online marketer with a team behind them isn't the same as what suits a small solo business with limited time to do their marketing in. And personal preferences play a role too. 

Canva

I’ve been using Canva since it was in beta… back in 2012. Crazy, right?! Now that’s loyalty! Use Canva's drag-and-drop feature and layouts to design for social media, your website, presentations, and posters. Easy to use and inexpensive.

 
 


Converkit

An email marketing tool designed for creatives. Part of the valuable system ConvertKit has created is the tagging and segmenting offered to everyone. I’ve used Converkit for years + love it!

Flodesk

If you’re a product or design based business, these gorgeous emails are great! Easily integrate this email marketing system using Zapier or directly if you use Shopify.



G-Suite

Professional email services and more! Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), is a set of integrated apps that let organizations use their own domain and be more productive, collaborative, and secure.

creative market

Easy automation for busy people. Zapier moves info between your web apps automatically, so you can focus on more important work.

 
 

BUSINESS + BEYOND
With every purchase, you're investing in a womxn-owned business

PERSONAL FAVS

COCO and breezy

Obsessed with these blue light glasses! This Black womxn owned business is based in NY and their designs are amazing!

BACK BEAT CO

My absolute favorite clothing brand. Hemp and Organic Cotton Clothing. Latinx owned + ethically made in LA.

STIL Classics

Planners. Designed by women, for women with busy schedules. I have used these for many years now + they are hands down the best planner I’ve ever owned.

 

supple skincare

Supple is a modern apothecary + treatment sanctuary where where you will find the perfect synergy of science + nature.

Laurel skin

My fav face oils + masks. Laurel Skins flower and herb based facial care line. A 100% organic, raw, unrefined, whole plant based line.

CORE wellness Meditation trainer

I was never “good” at meditating, until this little device! Biosensors measure your stress levels as you meditate. It anchors me to my breathing and focus with synced vibrations to sound waves or a voice led practice.

 

Jewelry

I wear two brands of jewelry, almost exclusively. Alchemilla and TwoRoots Shop, originally both based in Oakland. Shop local my friends. There are amazing crafts womxn around you.

B & H Photo

The only spot to buy new + used photo equipment: cameras, lighting kits, you name it. Highly recommend. Stop buying random from Amazon.

Handblown, clear glass cup in the shape of a stemless wine glass. What’s unique is the small pinch marks across the sides toward the bottom. It makes it feel almost like your caressing the cup as you hold it.

THIRTEEN GLASSES

Handblown glassware that I can’t stop touching. It just feels right in your hand.
