đ Starting Your Style File
If youâre an organization lover like me, you may already be a lover of Notion. It seems like the whole internet is OBSESSED. And I am too.
So, Iâm super excited to share my own personal collection of styling resources with you via Notion!
If youâd like to use the Style File Notion template throughout this course:
Free subscribers can purchase it here for $17
Paid subscribers can grab it for free at the link below
You can even download Notion on your phone to access your Style File and color palette whenever you need it.
đĄ Remember: your color palette is a living document. It can evolve, and it should! The Style File Notion template makes it easy to update your palette any time.






Although I think the Style File will be a super valuable tool, I want to stress that it is completely optional. If you arenât tech savvy, or if you just prefer to go your own way, donât worry! You will be able to complete the course and all the exercises without using the Style File.
If youâd rather start your own Style File, get creative! Find a cute journal and use magazine clippings, paint, or even printed swatches from my seasonal color guides to create your visual color palette.
