A Home for Creating is a private space dedicated to writing, creating, and sharing online imperfectly — like a paywalled newsletter, but reshaped into a digital world
</aside>
Ever since leaving social media in 2021, I craved an online space of my very own — one I actually wanted to hang out in and pour my creative-self into.
I was tired of worrying about whether or not my writing style was too lengthy and meandering, if reaching a certain amount of likes on a post would equal more workshop sign ups, or how to take a photo that the algorithm would approve of.
Instead, I wanted to absorb, create, and share art in a way that brought me joy: documenting a pottery practice I shared with my mom, editing and sharing home-videos, reading five books at once and wanting to talk about each of them, or experimenting with writing fiction because why not.
The solution: build my own digital world (using Notion).
Now, during periods of anxiety, illness, or overwhelm, I have an anchor back to my creative-self.
A reminder that stepping away doesn’t have to mean falling behind or abandoning everything, but permission to adapt to life’s inevitable fluctuations.
A Home for Creating, 2+ years later, continues to shape itself into a living archive of my creative life: an ever-evolving digital world designed to support and inspire how I choose to be in-process with my creative practices.
A place that invites me to be me, no strings attached.
And I would be thrilled to have you join me.
Chloe (:

What You Can Expect
<aside>
A Home for Creating might be for you if…
- If you’ve ever found comfort in building and tending to your own digital world or garden, or have longed to create one for yourself…
- If you have no way of quickly answering the question, “what do you do?” since what you do doesn’t fit into a tidy little box (or in a 2-minute response)…
- If you enjoy the process of wandering down internet rabbit holes without needing to know where you’re going or why…
- If you’re neurodivergent or chronically ill and have always had a non-linear approach your creative life or small business, preferring to create and share things at your own pace and in your own way
- If you enjoy writing by hand, reading physical books, or creating something tangible, just as much as you enjoy obsessing over the layout of your website’s homepage…
- If you feel like you have to become someone else in order to build a brand or personal presence on social media…

And if not…
If you’re looking for self-paced courses, step-by-step tutorials, scheduled calls, or live workshops on how to use Notion, this likely isn’t the place for you.
While I do offer tidbits of my experience with building digital worlds using Notion, there are many folks (actual Notion experts) that can offer more “how-to” specific services (email me if you are looking for recommendations).
A Home for Creating meanders down rabbit holes, gets stuck in the muck for a while, and rushes forward all at once. It’s a reflection of my inner landscape and a promise to myself that here, in this magical, self-built digital world of my dreams, ****the thing that propels me forward will always be my curiosity.
A Home for Creating isn’t mean’t to fix or solve or figure any one thing out, it’s a space for reflecting, observing, creating, sharing, and tending to something over time because you want to — because the act of doing so is rewarding enough.

Should you choose to become a member, I can offer you…
- An archive of 2+ years worth of musings and creative meanderings

“I'm a new subscriber, but so far I'm loving being a part of your digital world. I feel inspired and like I can finally get my own in order. Also, I love hearing about your process, your frustrations, because I share a lot of them. It makes me not feel so alone. Thank you!” — Margaret

“The most impactful experience for me has been the creative diaries. As someone who is a big ideator and thinker, I often don't feel that I am able to empty myself or see progress. The framework you introduced came at a time when a personal mantra of mine, "allow the process to change you," is important in my journey. The way you've created Notion as an organism rather than a stagnant template has opened up new ways of seeing Notion and my own process.” — Monica
