You've Spent Years Being Who You Were Supposed to Be.
What If You Could Design a Life Around Who You Actually Are?
Find the one word that's actually yours—built from evidence, not expectation—and use it to navigate the next 12 months without losing yourself.
Here's What Happens When You Don't Have a Word:
You start with good intentions. Maybe you set goals. Maybe you make resolutions. Maybe you tell yourself, "This time will be different."
In a few months, the energy fades. The goals feel disconnected from who you actually are. You're following someone else's plan for your life.
You're stuck between two versions of yourself: the person you think you should be, and the person you're actually becoming.
And you're wondering: Is there a way to design a life that feels like mine—not borrowed, not aspirational, just accurate?
What If One Word Could Change That?
Not a vague virtue word like "balance" or "growth."
Not an Instagram-ready word that looks good on a graphic but means nothing in real life.
A word that names what's already in motion. A word built from evidence—from the patterns you're already living, the feedback you keep hearing, the themes that keep showing up.
A word that helps you make decisions. Say no to what doesn't fit. Stay grounded when everything else is shifting.
That's what this practice is about.
Edits, not overhauls.
Depth, not drama.
One word that's yours.
-
A beautifully designed 11-page guide that walks you through the ART method: Assemble (gather evidence), Refine (find the pattern), Try (test if it works). You'll have your word by the time you finish.
-
Starting the day you download the guide, you'll get a daily email teaching you how to use the ART framework. No fluff. Just clear, practical guidance (with some pop culture wisdom thrown in, because that's how I work).
-
For the next 12 months, you'll get a short email each month with reflection questions to help you live with your word—noticing how it shows up, where it surprises you, and what it teaches you.
Don’t think of it as homework. It's an invitation to notice.
Here's What You'll Get (Free):
This Is For You If:
✓ You're navigating a transition and need a way to stay grounded without losing yourself
✓ You're tired of following frameworks built for someone else's life
✓ You want something more meaningful than generic New Year's resolutions that fade by February
✓ You're ready to design a year around evidence, not aspiration
✓ You believe in edits over overhauls—small, intentional changes that create depth over time
✓ You're curious about what happens when you stop performing and start practicing
I'm a designer, podcast host, and someone who's rebuilt his life more times than I'd like to admit.
Music major. Paris fashion student. Houston entrepreneur (in a city I swore I'd never live in—and here I am, 15 years later). Faith deconstructor. CEO of an ever-evolving design brand.
I've learned that transformation doesn't require burning everything down. It requires edits—small, intentional changes that create depth over time.
For nearly a decade, I've used one word to guide my year. Not as a resolution. As a practice. And it's changed how I make decisions, navigate transitions, and design a life that actually fits.
This guide is the framework I use. Now it's yours.
