Trades.
Actual ones.I believe money is one way to exchange value. Not the only way.
If you have something on this list and you'd like advisory time in return — a report, an ongoing month, or something in between — get in touch. Tell me what you've got. We'll work out what's fair. Cash and trade combos are fine too.
What I'm open to
A good accountant
Not a one-off tax return. An ongoing relationship with someone who actually gets small creative businesses. This one's worth real advisory time.
Clothes worth wearing
Bright, loose, layerable. Natural materials only — soft ones. (If you're not sure if it's soft enough, ask your nearest neurodivergent person to test it.) I like bold colour, interesting prints, and things that move well. Overalls, wide-leg trousers, great coats, fun outer layers. Anything but brown or yellow. Nothing itchy, nothing that nips at the waist.
Jewellery
Big and feminist. Chunky necklaces, statement bangles. Bright colours or bold materials. Not earrings.
Scarves and hand-knitted socks
Light scarves, woolly scarves, both welcome. Hand-knitted socks are an immediate yes.
Art
Images or sculpture that lean political. Tell me what it is and what it's saying.
Books
Fiction by women or trans authors. Literary preferred, but I'll happily read Alexis Hall and Natasha Pulley so don't be too precious about it.
A masticating juicer
You know the kind. Cold press, quiet-ish, built to last.
Coffee beans
Good ones.
Massage — for me and my partner
Melbourne. Remedial or relaxation both welcome.
A photo session
I need images of myself that I actually like. Not coach photos. Not beige backdrops and crossed arms. Someone who can make a real person look like themselves on a good day — hair, makeup, the works if you do that. Melbourne.
Vegan skincare and things that make your house smell good
Natural, palm oil free. Citrus or forest. Not synthetic, not sweet.
A meal at a vegan restaurant
Melbourne. You pick, I'll trust you. Bonus points if it's somewhere I haven't been.
A canopy for my mobility scooter
Melbourne. If you know someone who makes or fits them, that counts too.
How it works
Tell me what you've got. Be specific — good descriptions matter and they'll help me say yes faster. I'll tell you what feels like a fair exchange and we'll go from there.
No hard sell, no awkward negotiation. If it's not a fit, I'll say so kindly.
