ASDB Planner 🤩 For Creatives, Doers, Dreamers
Jan 28, 2025
Can we agree on something?
We, as creatives, need our own special planner or notebook for daily sketches, mood boards, color palettes, or even just a space for random creative prompts to keep us inspired. Most planners I’ve seen are just too... random, with their linear pages, rigid layouts, and zero room for the things we actually need.
Why am I bringing this up?
Well, it’s Tuesday, the workweek is in full swing, and I don’t know about you, but I need a space for my spontaneous ideas and plans - somewhere they can literally BREATHE, not get buried in my phone. (Shoutout to my 1,000+ notes in iCloud that I swear I’ll organize someday… except I never do 🫠 And don’t even ask me to find the “world-changing” idea I scribbled down last month in Paris. It’s gone. Probably forever. Sound familiar?)
And that’s when I realized: the planner I need just doesn’t exist. So I decided to create it.
Meet THE Planner for Creatives - ASDB Planner 🤩
This isn’t your typical planner. This is OUR planner. The one with:
- Pages for Daily Creative Sessions - Sketches, mood boards, color palettes - whatever your creative process looks like that day.
- Big Vision Reminders - Keep your focus on the “why” behind your work and break it down into small, actionable steps.
- Marketing & Business Sections - Just making beautiful work isn’t enough anymore. You need to sell your ideas too, and I’ve got you covered.
- Space for YOU - Whether you want to doodle, brainstorm, or jot down those random 3 a.m. thoughts, this planner has the flexibility you need ✏️
And the best part? It’s not some mass-produced, one-size-fits-all thing. These are being printed by a family-run manufactory in the South of Germany, with the kind of quality that makes you want to actually use it every day. Seriously, I can’t wait to hold it myself.

How Do You Get It?
Here’s the cool part: I’m not selling it. Nope, not anywhere! This planner is my personal gift to you when you join my Drawing Academy - it’s the PERFECT companion to our 3D Drawing for Business, Design, and Life course, where we not only create stunning interior concepts but also develop essential skills in marketing, social media, and AI.
I’m keeping this edition small - just 25 planners available for ASDB readers - because it’s super limited and personal. Some of them have already been reserved by my Instagram story watchers a few days ago, by the way!
I’ll be packing, signing, and taking each one to the post office myself. It’s not about the cost (though, to be fair, each planner does cost nearly €100 to produce and ship) - it’s about making sure this feels as personal and special as it should.
Oh, and speaking of special: if you’re as excited about designing, brainstorming, and building creative projects as I am - not just in this newsletter but in general - definitely join me for my upcoming free drawing workshop! We’ll dive into how to create stunning interior concepts on the iPad, and I’ll also share some tips on marketing and selling your work as a creative (because, honestly, creating isn’t enough anymore).
>> Draw and design them here with my video tutorial in the workshop.
Think of this workshop as the perfect warm-up to using the planner - whether it’s for sketching out new ideas, planning dream projects, or just organizing all the brilliant ideas swirling in your head. You can register for it here - it’s completely free!
I can’t wait to hear what you think about the planner. Honestly, it’s been in the works all of January (what a powerful and inspiring way to start the new year, right?), and now it’s FINALLY almost here 🥹
Happy creating!
