Creator’s Lab Notebook

A tool for artists to experiment toward their next breakthrough.

In coaching, we’re not interested in the “right” way or the “wrong” way; we’re interested in ways that work and ways that don’t. Experimentation reveals these.

Still, we don’t want to experiment just for the sake of experimenting. We want to find the “ways that work” that will move us toward our goal.

You can use this tool to strategically design creative experiments based on what you want to learn or discover next. The tool is a laboratory notebook with prompts to design, run, and analyze creative experiments.

I teach this tool in my Fresh Squeezed Creative Juice workshop; join an upcoming session to learn it in context.
