DIY isn’t a talent, it’s a skill
And you’re completely capable of learning it.

Learn the confidence-building skills, tools, and techniques 
to create a Pinterest-worthy home, one project at a time. 
 
Join Ride or DIY, the membership community where beginners become DIYers and “I could never do that” becomes “Wait… I DID THAT!

Here’s The Truth.

Does this sound familiar?
You’ve got Pinterest boards full of projects you’ll never start. A garage full of half-finished attempts. That accent wall you wanted to paint six months ago that’s still not done.
Social media makes it look so easy. But when you try it yourself, you get three steps in and freeze. “Which drill bit do I use?” “Why doesn’t mine look like theirs?” “What if I mess this up?”
So you shove it in a corner, tell yourself you’re “just not handy,” and your home stays exactly the same.
Here’s what nobody tells you: The problem isn’t you. It’s the way DIY is taught.
Most tutorials are made for people who already know how to DIY. They skip the beginner steps. They don’t explain WHY you’re doing something. They don’t show you the mistakes or the moments of panic when things go wrong.
And that’s why your projects stall out. Not because you can’t do it, but because you weren’t taught HOW to actually do it.
There’s a better way. And I’m going to show you!

Why DIY Feels Hard (and How to Fix It)

Most tutorials assume you already know what you’re doing.
They skip beginner steps.
They don’t explain WHY.
They hide mistakes.
They don’t show the “oh crap” moments.

You don’t fail because you can’t DIY. You fail because no one ever taught you HOW to learn DIY.

Introducing: Ride or DIY

The DIY membership community where we do real projects together—with clear guidance, live support when you’re stuck, and a community that actually gets it.
This isn’t another collection of tutorials you’ll watch and forget. This isn’t a self guided, overpriced course that you buy and sits untouched. 
This is you, me, and a group of women working a project at the same time. With support. With accountability. With someone who remembers what it’s like to be a beginner.
No more abandoned projects. No more confusion. No more DIY-ing alone.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

One Big Project Every Quarter
We tackle ONE major community build every 3 months. 
Full plans. Materials. Step-by-step support.

Q1 Project (Jan-Mar): The Viral Daybed
or
 Project of Your Choice
+
Live Support (2x Monthly)
Live zoom calls with me twice a month to get support and feedback on your project. Ask anything (there are no dumb questions). Get real-time troubleshooting so projects don’t stall. 
These aren’t lectures. They’re working sessions where you get UNSTUCK and keep moving forward.
+
Plus: Access to My Complete Build Plan and Video Library
Every plan I’ve ever created is instantly yours. 
Build whatever you want between our quarterly projects. 
No more buying plans one at a time.
+
And a Private Community That Has Your Back
A safe, inclusive space to connect with other DIYers at your level. Share progress. Troubleshoot together. Celebrate wins. You’re not figuring this out alone anymore.

WHAT CHANGES WHEN YOU JOIN:

Immediately:
✓ You’ll finally finish that project collecting dust in your garage
✓ You’ll stop second-guessing every decision and trust yourself to figure it out
✓ You’ll save hundreds (maybe thousands) by DIY-ing instead of buying
✓ You’ll know exactly which tools to use and how to use them safely
✓ You’ll create something beautiful that’s actually YOURS
Long-term:
✓ You’ll become the person who solves problems instead of waiting for someone else to do it (or paying someone to do it!)
✓ You’ll build a home that truly reflects YOU, not what’s trending
✓ You’ll stop feeling intimidated in hardware stores
✓ You’ll be the friend everyone calls for DIY advice
✓ You’ll transform your relationship with yourself, proving you’re even more capable than you thought

This Is For You If:
✅ You’re tired of starting projects you never finish
✅ You want to build real furniture and tackle actual home projects
✅ You need clear guidance (not tutorials that skip important steps)
✅ You want accountability and community support
✅ You’re ready to stop doubting yourself and start DIY-ing

This Isn’t For You If:

❌ You just want free content (my YouTube is perfect for that)
❌ You’re not willing to invest time in actually building
❌ You expect results without putting in the work
❌ You’re looking for a magic solution that doesn’t require effort

What You Get:

  • One complete project per quarter with full plans, or project of your choice
  • 2 live support sessions every month (with recordings available for playback)
  • Access to my entire build plan library and resources
  • Private community access
  • Direct feedback on your projects
  • The confidence to tackle projects you never thought you could do

The Math: Buying just 1 self guided course costs more than this, and you’d still be DIY-ing alone without support.

The Real Value: This pays for itself in your first project when you realize how much money you’re saving by not hiring costly contractors or exclusive interior designers.

But more importantly? You’re investing in YOURSELF. In your confidence. In becoming the kind of person who doesn’t wait for someone else to create the home you want.

Here’s what you’ll be saying after 3 months:

“I used to think I needed someone else to fix things. 
Now I just… do it myself.”
 
“DIY used to stress me out. Now it’s my escape.” 
 
“I finally understand WHY things work. That changed everything.”
