Custom Requests
Custom, when it's helpful.
Sometimes what you need doesn't quite exist yet.
I offer a small number of custom requests for people looking for something specific — a gentle adaptation, a personalized version, or a tool designed around your real life.
This isn't about building something big or complex.
It's about creating something calm, useful, and supportive.
What custom requests may include
- •Light customization of an existing planner or guide
- •A one-page tool for a specific routine or situation
- •A simplified or combined version of current systems
Understanding scope & pricing
Simple custom requests
Starting at $15–$45
- ✓Light adjustments to existing products
- ✓One-page tools for specific routines
- ✓Simplified versions of current systems
Complex or specialized requests
Priced individually (typically $75+)
- ✓Multi-part systems requiring specialized knowledge
- ✓Industry-specific or professional-grade tools
- ✓Comprehensive planning systems with multiple components
These requests require more research, design time, and expertise — pricing reflects that investment.
I don't take on every request, and that's intentional — it helps keep this work thoughtful and grounded.
Previous custom work
Here are a few examples of custom tools I've created for others.
Custom Work Example
Baby's First Year
A gentle, one-page keepsake designed to help a parent capture meaningful moments from their baby's first year without feeling overwhelmed. Created as a calm alternative to traditional memory books, this piece focuses on presence, reflection, and simplicity—making it easy to return to over time.
Custom Work Example
Arts College Application Command Center
A calm, all-in-one system designed to help arts students and their families manage auditions, applications, and deadlines with clarity and confidence — all in one place.
Why I created this
I created the Arts College Application Command Center because arts college admissions are uniquely overwhelming. Auditions, prescreens, portfolios, academic applications, and financial deadlines all run on different timelines — yet families are often left to manage it with scattered notes, spreadsheets, and constant stress. This system was built to replace that chaos with structure. To give parents and students one clear source of truth, reduce decision fatigue, and make an intense season feel grounded, organized, and manageable.

Pricing
Custom work is priced simply and thoughtfully, based on the scope of the request.
Typical ranges (aligned with my existing Etsy custom listings):
- •Light adjustments to an existing product: starting at $15–$25
- •One-page custom tools: starting at $25–$45
- •More involved custom requests: priced individually
Pricing may be adjusted slightly over time as offerings evolve, but these ranges are meant to set clear expectations.
If it feels like a good fit, I'll share final pricing before moving forward — no pressure and no obligation.
Availability note
Custom requests are intentionally limited so each one can be handled with care and attention.
This helps keep the process calm, thoughtful, and sustainable for everyone involved.
