Think Upswing E-Book
I’ve learned my share of lessons on how to sanely run my own business since opening up shop three years ago. Mostly, I'm learning by making mistakes. Although, I’ve found it helpful to have a guide to keep me focused and on track. A reference point.
Lucky for you, I helped make just such a guide. Melissa, from Think Upswing wrote it, and I added my visual style to this easy-to-read primer. Check it out.
Think Upswing can help you take your business to the next level.
I finally made a holiday card

Portrait
Was happy with how this portrait turned out. Capturing a likeness is a challenge for me, so I'm not above cheating a little and working over a photograph.
