New YouTube tutorial series starts now! π₯
Hey there!
I'm back with a fresh batch of quick YouTube video tutorials to help you work smarter and faster in Adobe InDesign. I'll be releasing one each week for the next few weeks, so buckle up, open InDesign, and learn some fun new tricks with me.
First up βΒ parent pages. Parent pages are like mini templates you can create and apply to pages in your document for repeated content like a background color or pattern, page numbers, headers, footers, etc. Parent pages are one of the best ways to work more efficiently in InDesign.
Note: In 2021, Adobe changed the name of this tool from master pages to parent pages in an effort to use more inclusive language, so if you ever see the term master pages floating around the internet, it's the same as parent pages.

Hi there! Ooof. Ok. This email is hard to write. It's one I've been thinking about for months, and now it's time to put my butt in the chair and write it β and it is harrrrd. *DISCLAIMER* β I know this email is LONG. I don't like reading long-winded emails myself. But big changes are afoot. This is the context. It's like All Too Well, The 10 Minute Version, mkay? If a year ago, you showed me a snapshot of what my life looks like today, I probably wouldn't have believed you. My work life is...
Hey friends, Remember 9 months ago, when it was January, and we had all that Big New Year Energy? We were making resolutions, planning out the next 12 months, and carefully choosing our word of the year. Well I'm here to confess something. My word of the year was RESET. I've been burnt out on work since Covid hit, throwing spaghetti at the wall in the some ways, and I decided 9 months ago that this would be my year to reset my business. To find joy in it again and breath new life into its...
Hello! Thanks for all your kind responses a couple weeks ago in my email about my next book. It's still swirling around in my head, and I'll be taking more steps soon to finally work towards that goal. But for now, I need to work an old muscle that used to be more in shape than it is now. I used to share my writing a lot in the years leading up to my first book, and I just slowly got out of the habit. But I want to start sharing it again, so here goes. As always, I write for myself. I edit it...
