Behind the Scenes of Time Intentional

When I set out to create Time Intentional, I knew I couldn’t do it alone. While I (it’s me, Alyssa!) handle all the content planning, writing, editing, and publishing (phew!), the Time Intentional brand is what it is because of some great partnerships, talented artists, and tools I use.

I purchased a digital custom portrait illustration from catinthecityart on Etsy. I sent Phoebe a couple of headshots and some additional inspiration for the clock-holding design I found online.

Meet Sam DuBeau, Canada-based brand designer, calligrapher, lettering artist, and maker of many things. Sam also founded a boutique studio specializing in bespoke works and creative experiences, Have & Hold Design.

Sam illustrated the exclusive Time Intentional sticker pack. When you refer three readers to subscribe to Time Intentional, you’ll receive a sweet, snail mail sticker pack and handwritten note from me!
