Make Your Art: Time Management for Creatives

Do you feel like you're just too busy to make your art? I totally get it! In this class, I'll teach you a variety of effective time management tools to make more space in your schedule for your art, creative practice, and to build your creative business. These skills can also be applied to manage your creative projects, as well.

I am an Illustrator who has spent the past 5 years working a multitude of jobs while also carving out the time to make my art and build my creative business, Prints & Plants. To do this, I've had to learn how to implement many time management skills and tools over the years.
