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…

  • Take a screen-free pause
    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
    Trade the scroll for something slower and softer.

  • Add creativity to a retreat or workshop
    Use the pages for reflection, grounding, or group connection.

  • Make slowing down your mind feel easier
    No complicated practice required. Just pick a color and begin.
