Notes From The Nook
From design tips to coffee chats, Notes from the Nook is where small-town dreams and creative stories come to life.
Hey There Dreamer
Pull up a chair, pour yourself a coffee, and settle in — this is the cozy heart of The Pixel Nook.
Here’s where creativity meets community, and every story gets a seat at the table. From branding and business tips to local spotlights and personal musings, Notes from the Nook is more than just a blog — it’s a peek into the creative rhythm of small-town Alberta living, one post at a time.
You’ll find sections brewed for every kind of dreamer:
🏡 Small-Town Highlights: My favourite places, cafés, and local gems I’ve visited — the ones that make you fall in love with Alberta’s cozy corners all over again.
🧰 The Grit & Grind Corner: A special space for the men in the mix — tradesmen, contractors, hockey dads, and small-town go-getters who are building businesses (and sometimes fences) from the ground up.
✨ Tips & Tricks: Branding and marketing ideas that’ll help you shine online and in real life — from Canva how-tos to small-budget social strategies that actually work.
💬 My Stories: The unfiltered, heartfelt side of The Pixel Nook — stories from my journey, lessons learned, wild detours, and the real life that happens between projects and cups of coffee.
This nook was made for dreamers, doers, and folks who believe that good design, good coffee, and good people make the world a little brighter. Whether you’re here for inspiration, education, or just a cozy read — welcome home
Let's Chat Over Coffee
That’s enough rambling from my cozy corner — now it’s your turn! Have a favorite small-town spot I should check out, a design question, or just want to talk shop (and coffee)? Pull up a chair and let’s chat over coffee — because the best ideas usually start with good conversation and a warm mug in hand.
