Color Me Unplugged
Mindful coloring inspired by nature.
Color Me Unplugged
Mindful coloring books, digital pages, and creative workshops designed to help busy humans slow down, unplug, and reconnect.
A creative pause for real life.
Color Me Unplugged was created to share two of my favorite things: coloring and time in nature.
What began 10 years ago as a simple practice, coloring between meetings or after a long day, has become one of my favorite ways to unplug and create a little breathing room.
That desire to share that same sense of calm and connection with others is what inspired me to create Color Me Unplugged: first the printed coloring books and digital packs, and then the workshops.

The Process
Every design in my books and pages begins with a photo I took while on a nature walk.
Using a digital sketch app, I create each page using this process:
Upload the photo
Trace shapes and details
Turn them into repeating patterns
Adjust and refine until the final desigin emerges
Use Color Me Unplugged when you want to…

A few quiet minutes with pencils instead of pings.Reset between meetings
Color for five minutes and give your brain a tiny exhale.Wind down at night
