Start Here
Begin when your brain says “not yet.”
Creativity isn’t about waiting for inspiration. It’s about starting when you least feel like it.
I built Camera & Clay because traditional productivity tools—timers, lists, schedules—never fixed the thing that actually blocks us: getting ourselves to begin.
I know this personally because I’ve spent nearly 20 years teaching photography and creative thinking, watching process interruptions slow down even the most talented minds.
This page is your entry point into a gentler way of beginning.
1. Free Start Method
If you find yourself stuck before you even start—the Start Method is for you.
What it is:
A simple downloadable guide that walks you through:
Why starting is harder than finishing
How to break the first 5 minutes down
A physical cue that changes brain behaviour
A ritual you can use every time you feel stuck
👉 [Download the Start Token Method — Free]
2. The Start Token (coming soon)
A small object designed to help creative brains initiate work, not manage time.
It’s a tactile cue — something you can keep on your desk, on your keys, or wear — that interrupts mental freeze and turns intention into action.
The Start Token isn’t a fidget toy. It’s a starter ritual 👉 [Join the waitlist / Pre-order]
3. Monthly Creative Nudge
Once you’re ready for ongoing support, this subscription delivers one small creative tool per month — curated prompts, tactile items, and practice nudges inspired by creative thinking research (and my own teaching practice).
It’s steady. It’s gentle. It’s actionable. 👉 [Join the Creative Nudge waitlist]
