Brand Partnerships

I connect brands that want to reach women ready to invest in their homes and content creators looking to invest in their business.

I help intimidated beginners become confident DIYers through relatable, actionable content. I bring a 20-year background as a professional coach to product education, which means I know how to make a complicated tool feel possible to someone who has never held one.

Best DIY and How-To Reel

What makes me different

  • I serve an underserved market. Women who feel intimidated by DIY but desperately want to learn.
  • My content is searchable and evergreen. Tutorials keep driving traffic and sales months after posting.
  • I don’t do forced endorsements. Products get integrated into real projects and real life.
  • They’re actively looking to buy. 80% of my comments are some version of “where did you get that?”

New for 2027

An American renovating an abandoned house in Japan

In February I’m moving to Japan to buy an akiya, one of roughly nine million abandoned houses across the country, and renovate it myself on camera. Almost nobody is documenting that in English with real costs and real mistakes.

It’s a year-long story with an audience already following it, and there’s room in it for tools, materials, travel gear, and home brands that want more than a single post.

What it looked like for other brands

A few of my favorite partnerships, and what they actually did for the brand.

Lowe’s x Craftsman Campaign

Lowe’s

$24.5K

in tracked sales

About a dozen videos over a year, with a different Lowe’s product every time. 9.2M reach and 5M views, and none of it came from one post going viral. It came from showing up for the same brand, again and again, until my audience knew exactly where I shop.
