Hi there, I'm Nelett, and I'm a designer just like you. Life's always changing, and being a designer can feel like a wild ride. But we're more than that, aren't we? We're caregivers, friends, and life lovers who find joy in more than just our work. We're all on this journey, each in our own way, but somehow, we're together in it.

They're here to bring a sense of structure and clarity to your creative endeavours.
Our undated diary pages are designed for flexibility. Start using them whenever you feel ready; there's no pressure to align with the calendar year. These pages are your ally in organizing your days and keeping track of deadlines, tailored to fit your unique schedule and workflow. They're here to adapt to you, not the other way around.
Freelancing is equal parts creativity and organisation—and we’ve got the second part covered. The Playbook Planner Digital Resources are editable templates built for Notion (a free project management system) to streamline your freelance workflow.
MY MISSION is for you as a creative to hear again:
