My passion is working with teachers (and teachers at heart) to help them enjoy creative self-care, often through doodling. Using a super-simple Doodle Alphabet, I guide my tribe to express thoughts, ideas, and emotions . . . one line at a time. Doodling is a fantastic meditative process that strengthens the mind, nurtures the heart, and boosts creativity. Everyone is creative (we were created to create). Sometimes we just need to reconnect to our creativity for the personal benefit . . . not to become producing artists.

I love DoodleU because it’s dedicated, uninterrupted doodle time—and doodling with friends is always better! Here’s a...
Hi Reader , A common theme keeps popping up for me lately, and it resonates deeply with one of my main ideas — Process over Product. When I encourage people to doodle, I often hear, “I’m just not creative,” or “I don’t know how to doodle.” But here’s the thing — creativity isn’t about perfection or polished results. It’s about process. Roxanne (aka @SuperDoodleGirl) recently shared a post that gave me a fresh perspective. She talked about ways to make “ugly art.” Her list included things...
Hi Reader , Most of the time when I doodle, I lean into familiar patterns — the ones that come easily to my brain and pen. I love the comfort that comes from those well-known lines. No matter how many times I draw them, each doodle turns out a little different… because that’s just how doodles are! I also rarely start in the same place or with the same “string” (those little spaces to doodle in). Once a year though, I’m intentional about stretching myself with new patterns. In October, a...
