Helpful Ideas for your Creative Career Resume

I have researched a way to untangle my own wildly non-linear creative life - and here is the framework.

This is a practical, human guide to translating your messy creative life into clear, professional experience.

Creative careers rarely follow a straight line.

They’re layered.
Overlapping.
Part freelance. Part products. Part commissions. Part experiments.
A mix of art, business, clients, ideas, and side paths that somehow become a life’s work.

And when someone asks,
“So… what do you do?”

It can feel surprisingly hard to answer.

This course was born from that exact problem.

This guide is not a result of any HR Training or textbook resume theory - it is simply what I found made sense after trying to understand my own story. I. have not come up with new concepts, they are mostly very well known ideas -  but they are new to me as a creative finding her feet.

After years of running businesses, designing collections, freelancing, licensing artwork, launching products, collaborating, teaching, and starting again more times than I can count… my experience looked like a complete mess on paper.

Until I stopped trying to force it into a traditional resume.

And instead started grouping my work into experience blocks.

That one shift changed everything.

Suddenly:
• the chaos became patterns
• small projects became real skills
• scattered work became clear expertise
• “self-employed” became leadership and capability

For the first time, I could actually explain what I do — clearly and confidently.

This course shares that framework.
