Giggling in green with at the Sticker Book Celebration! 🍾 My dress matching the backdrop color was a delightful coincidence heh heh heh.

P.S. Confetti is cute but it tastes like absolute ass which, when I think about it, is actually a hilarious trick because people can’t help but smile and open their mouths in awe when they see it coming their way

Deep knowledge of yeasted doughs, meet extensive library of lettering reference books 🤝 Sneak peek of an exciting new project I got to contribute to that comes out soon!

I loosely based this edible alphabet off of grissini, a crispy Italian breadstick, so naturally I first went to the Italian section of my ‘Scripts’ book by and 🤓

I had so much fun designing these ~culinary chic~ press on nails for .shop! 🥖💅🏼 Press on nails have been my go-to for YEARS since I work with my hands so much (mural painting, cooking, ceramics, etc) that keeping them bare most of the time makes the most sense. So when I have an event or want to feel extra cute in between creative projects, I can pop them on.

I’m in NYC for work and got some v chaotic last-minute inspiration to offer something brand new: IN-PERSON creative/biz consultations! 😮 Sit down with me in the Lower East Side on Tuesday 10/29 or Thursday 10/31 and let’s WORK SOME STUFF OUT TOGETHER.

If you’ve ever wanted to grab a coffee and pick my brain about the handful of things I’m pretty damn good at (lettering, getting paid for work you *actually* want to do, online marketing that doesn’t completely suck, juggling multiple passions in a niche-obsessed world, naming things, portfolio reviews, etc), now is your chance to pick away.

Choose from 1 hour ($300) or 2 hours ($500) with me for up to 2 people. I originally envisioned these as 1-on-1 sessions but then I thought of business partners, collaborators, freelancer friends, and classmates who might want to focus on similar topics and split the time and cost. Includes a beverage of your choice (coffee, tea, smoothie, day wine lol). A limited number of sliding scale slots are available as well; I know it’s weird out there rn

A lot of us have this common misconception that inspiration comes down in a lightning bolt flash of insight, complete with total creative confidence + energy to start that next project, like, ASAP ⚡️​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And that’s great when it happens. But as we all know, those moments are few and far between 😅​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Luckily, I’ve found a much simpler, much more reliable way to generate that creative spark.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How do I do it, you ask?👇🏽​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I consider EVERYTHING inspiration. Conversations with my friends. Funny shows I watch. The food I eat (obviously). Feelings I have, music I like, memes my friends send me, the list goes on and on.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There is SO much magic hiding in the mundane details of your life if you slow down and look....​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But the REAL secret is in knowing how to sift through it all and figure out how to apply it practically to your creative work.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is why I’m SO excited about my new FREE online workshop: ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The Intentional Idea Framework: How to Create a Passion Project That's Authentic to You AND Attractive to Clients 💡​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It's happening on July 21st at 11 AM EDT, and this is likely the last time I'll be teaching it LIVE since I'm going back to school next year (eeeeee!). ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Register here: intentionalidea.com/register​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
(There will be sweet perks for people who tune in live & replays w/ closed captioning available for a limited time afterward.)​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Can't wait to help you find that creative sweet spot with your personal work! ❤️

If my session got you excited to diversify your income streams, then I have a treat for you:

I created a free PDF worksheet to help you brainstorm after watching my presentation! It contains five prompts (and tips) to help guide you towards the right digital product idea for your creative business.

Freelancers, we’ve all been there: One month you’ve got clients rolling in and money in the bank, and only a few months later, things slow down...

One of the BEST ways I’ve learned to build a resilient creative business is to diversify your income streams (aka find other ways to make money that still complement your freelance work), which is why I’m so thrilled to be presenting on the topic at Adobe MAX on October 28th!

In this session, I’ll walk you through three digital product ideas that almost every creative business can implement:

💡 Teaching a skill by hosting a live webinar or online workshop
📒 Sharing your expertise by developing an eBook or workbook
🛠 Creating helpful digital tools like mockups, templates, and more

Spread out the ways you earn money, insulate yourself against those slow times, and give yourself the ability to take on — and seek out — projects that truly excite you.

No one has their s**t together... I know it looks like everyone you follow online does, but the reality is everyone is doing their best to piece it all together!

Take me for example: this cute photo makes me look like I'm casually crushing my to-do list...
..when in reality, I'm behind on two dozen things. One of which includes updating my portfolio website (and tbh I've been snoozing that task for years 🥲).

To finally force myself to do it bc it really is important, I’m turning it into a live, 4-week class that’ll help other portfolio procrastinators get it done alongside me!

Learn more here: https://www.homsweethom.com/portfolio-procrastinator-early-bird

Enrollment ends Monday morning at 10am ET (right before the first class starts!) 💡

What this live class will include:

💌 Every Monday morning, you’ll receive an email with a video lesson (aka a recording of me working on my portfolio and walking you through my process) and links to any additional resources I mention.

💻 Every Thursday from 11am - 12pm ET, I’ll be available for live office hours where you can ask me questions about that week’s lesson, get feedback on your progress, or just learn from other people’s questions.

👀 You’ll receive lifetime access to the video lessons and the recordings of the office hours.

P.S. If you really are a portfolio procrastinator like I am, I'd be honored to have you in this inaugural class! It's a brand new concept I'm testing out, and you'll be getting a sweet early bird price (only $149!) for joining in early ⚡️

I just launched a new Adobe Acrobat PDF toolkit to help you cultivate a more creative space. It’s free & you can download it here: http://adobe.ly/laurenhom-creativespace

I packed it with a ton of actionable tips for making the most out of any workspace, whether it’s a tiny desk in the corner of your bedroom (me in 2012) or a big, sunny loft filled with murals (me in 2020, pictured here).

I'm a big believer that creativity begets more creativity, which is why curating a workspace that feels creative has always been so important to me. Download the toolkit for tips on how to cultivate a more creative space of your own!
