Office Progress Photos and a Brief Update!


September 29, 2023

Hello Reader,

It is crazy to believe September is coming to an end! This month has been a whirlwind. I started a new contract role on September 1 and I've also been working in my office! Things have been so busy around here I haven't had much time to think about this newsletter, let alone get a blog out or add a new product to my store.

So a brief update from me:

My new contract role is with the Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals (SORP). I'm also still working with the sister organization the Association of Outdoor Recreation and Education (AORE). I'm learning a lot with SORP and things are getting busy with AORE as we are a month out from the Outdoor Professional Conference.

These roles have taught me a lot though. I have these two roles, plus my other clients. I'm staying busy! I'm learning to manage my time and I've learned not everything is life or death like I experienced in previous roles. I work with some of the most fabulous people and it makes everything even better!

My amazing office is almost done! I can't thank my buddy Paula enough! (And her husband Zach, and I guess my husband too 😆). We have to finish up the "attic" space, but that will happen in the next few days. I haven't really organized or hung anything up, so I'm waiting to do a full reveal / video walk through, but it is coming.

Enjoy some photos from the process since the last time I shared an update. Lots of doggie visitors, snuggles with my kiddos between painting, and Aspen supervising.

I appreciate you all supporting my journey. I'll be back with marketing updates, illustrations, and more! Next month I'm going to be launching my holiday commissions, so stay tuned!

With love,

Rebecca

March 25, 2026 Hello Reader, It has been a while since I got an update out! Life has been full of projects and personal happenings. As we move into spring (how is it late March already!?) I'm feeling inspired, creative, and motivated to move my business forward. Here are some updates of what's been happening! The Past two months Outdoor Marketing BootcampIn February I spoke on two different topics at the Outdoor Marketing Bootcamp led by 52Eighty Creative. It was a great experience sharing...

November 17, 2025 Hello Reader, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting this season — the kind that comes from stepping back, taking a breath, and looking honestly at what kind of work actually lights me up. I realized I’ve been offering too much, doing work that was fine… but not work that energizes me or fits the direction I want to grow. All of that reflection has led me to simplify. I’m narrowing my focus, choosing the work that feels good for my energy, my creativity, and my life. And the...

July 18, 2025 Hello Reader, This summer’s been full — of trailhead moments, big creative energy, and a lot of behind-the-scenes work. I just wrapped up my blog series Make Your Own Map, a candid look at what it really takes to carve out a creative career in the outdoor space — especially if your path looks a little different. Whether you’re a guide-turned-creative or a desk-job-escapee (like me!), I hope this series helped you feel a little more grounded — or at least less alone. Missed a...
