This community is a place for makers, daydreamers, scribblers, sketchers, notebook-hoarders, creative-on-the-inside humans, burnout survivors, multi-passionate brains, and anyone trying to reconnect with their spark.
You don’t need to pretend you’re more put-together, more productive, or more “creative” than you feel right now.
This space meets you exactly where you are — messy desk, unfinished projects, blank pages and all.
Let me show you around!
The community living room — share something, ask something, or just read along.
Weekly sparks and monthly themes to explore at your pace.
Tutorial Library, Project Gallery, and other tools you can use whenever you're in the mood to make something.
Our premium + invite-only corner of the community: The Studio, Co-Creators Hub, and Brand Ambassadors.
You don’t need a grand introduction.
Just choose whatever feels easiest and post it in the Creative Lounge:
a color that matches your energy today
three emojis that describe your current vibe
what brought you here
something you like creating (even if you haven’t done it in months)
or just say “hi,” nothing fancy
Short, simple, human. It’s enough.
And if you’re not ready to post anything yet?
That’s fine too. Stay as long as you’d like.
This part is important:
You don’t have to be loud, consistent, or endlessly active to belong here.
You can:
lurk
react
show up once a month
disappear and return
read everything and post nothing
Presence isn’t measured by activity.
You get to engage in the way your energy allows.
This space isn’t about being perfect or following trends. It’s about showing up as you are, trying new things, making messes, and finding people who get it. Some of us are here to grow a business, others to reconnect with creativity, and many of us are figuring it out as we go.
These guidelines exist so we can keep this space thoughtful, respectful, and genuinely helpful — a place where creativity feels accessible, and where everyone has room to be themselves.
Express yourself freely and support others doing the same.
Speak with empathy, even when offering critique.
Every voice matters. We welcome all identities, abilities, and backgrounds.
Stay open to learning, exploring, and growing your creative self.
Treat all members with kindness, even when you disagree.
Use inclusive language — avoid ableist, racist, sexist, or other harmful language.
Respect diverse communication styles, especially in a neurodivergent-friendly space.
No bullying, trolling, hate speech, or harassment of any kind will be tolerated.
DIYvinci is proudly neurodivergent-led. Many members of our community live with disabilities, chronic illness, and invisible conditions.
Be patient with different communication styles and needs.
Don’t assume ability or experience level — ask, don’t guess.
Do not give unsolicited medical or mental health advice.
