Hi! I'm Tamara, a mom of 2 amazing boys, graphic designer, and entrepreneur from the west coast of Canada.

For the past 15 years, I've worked at multiple award-winning design agencies as well as helped hundreds of small businesses create their brands through my freelance logo design work. Now I spend my days doing what I love - design. I'm obsessed with all things Canva, design & digital products.

✸ here’s my story

From an overwhelmed mom to top earning Etsy creator

I’ve always dreamed of one day running my own design agency and eventually that dream become a reality. I was working with 6 figure clients, helping them grow their brands through graphic design. I thought this was what I wanted, to run a successful design studio, work with hundreds of clients, and pushing myself to work on bigger and better projects.

The reality was much different. I ended up working 40-60 hours a week and was constantly stressed out. From answering emails to chasing down invoices - running a design studio was a lot more work (and stress!) than I anticipated. Once I got pregnant with my first son I realized there was no way this was going to be sustainable.

That’s when I stumbled upon the world of digital products

Another designer I followed on Instagram started talking about how she was designing and selling digital products and making thousands of dollars a month. I learned how they were a form of passive income, meaning you spend the time initially to design the product but after the hard work is done, you can sell it over and over to many people without any additional work. Making money while I slept sounded like an absolute dream, especially if it meant I could spend more time with my kids AND bring in more cash. 

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into exactly, it sounded almost too good to be true. I decided to dive in and learn as much as I could about digital products - what were they, what types of digital products are out there and how do I design them. Fast forward 3 years I’m making over $5000 a month in passive income from my digital products.

I want to share what I’ve learned because it’s something I know anyone can do!
