Notebooks, Spreadsheets, and a Healthy Obsession

Every idea I encounter gets two treatments: a notebook entry where I sketch it out in plain language, and a spreadsheet where I stress-test it against real numbers. That dual habit is probably the most honest description of who I am — a writer and analyst who genuinely cannot separate the two.

My work sits at the intersection of artisan business advocacy and the kind of clear, grounded analysis that actually helps people make decisions. I spend a lot of time inside the craft industry — talking to makers, tracking market shifts, and getting my hands into the practical side of things so my writing never floats too far from reality.

What You Can Expect Here

Whether you are just starting out or you have been running your artisan business for years, I write with both of you in mind. Here is how I tend to approach things:

  • Testing ideas hands-on before writing a single recommendation
  • Translating complex trends into language that is actually useful
  • Keeping analysis grounded in the realities of craft and maker culture
  • Treating every reader's time as genuinely valuable

If any of that sounds like what you have been looking for, I am glad you found your way here. Feel free to reach out — I read everything.
