CREATOR
STARTER KIT
A practical workbook built from the ideas shared during SESSION 002. Use it to turn creative ambition into a direction, a body of work, an offer, a network, and a next move.
FREE CREATOR RESOURCE • SESSION 002Choose your direction.
SESSION 002 repeatedly comes back to knowing what you want from your craft before chasing every opportunity.
Develop your craft.
Practice consistently. Study the people who came before you. Stay a student of the scene. SESSION 002 frames improvement as an ongoing practice, not a one-time breakthrough.
Shape your first offer.
Build enough work to show what you do, then make it easy for people to understand what they can buy, book, commission, stream, attend, or support.
Know your costs.
SESSION 002 emphasizes understanding materials, pricing, and the tools required to do the work. Use this simple floor-price check before setting a price.
This is a planning floor: materials + direct costs + your time. It does not automatically include taxes, overhead, platform fees, or profit margin.
Find your community.
Sometimes the opportunity starts with simply being in the room.
The voices behind SESSION 002.
This kit exists because five creatives shared what they have learned from actually doing the work. Their disciplines are different, but their stories meet at the same place: craft, community, persistence, and creating a path of your own.
Jha
Oakland-based vinyl artist creating custom portrait work with vinyl and acrylic paint, while curating spaces where people can create without the pressure of perfection.
Brandon Davis
A photographer whose practice extends into clothing, jewelry, and commercial image-making. His perspective reflects the value of learning across disciplines and continuing to expand your creative language.
Hazel Noir
A San Francisco-based designer who began creating as a child and officially launched her brand in 2024. Her journey speaks to developing the craft, understanding the tools, and treating creative work like real work.
Dr. Cameron “Cash Campain” Parker
A multidisciplinary artist with two decades in music whose work has expanded into writing, visuals, and performance. His SESSION 002 perspective centers experience, presence, relationships, and sharing what he wishes he had known earlier.
Larry Jeff
A producer and engineer whose creative journey grew from a lifelong relationship with music. His contribution reinforces investing in your tools, understanding other disciplines, and building a network capable of bringing ideas to life.
