Bedtime Stories You'll actually want to read.

We believe reading together is always better. Tired of the same old repetitive tales? Our books are crafted with playful dialogue and heartfelt lessons to keep bedtime fresh for kids and engaging for grown-ups. From outdoor adventures to magical moments, we create stories that spark curiosity and fill little hearts with courage—one chapter at a time.

SEASONED
(additional projects in development)

When a menopausal meltdown at a PTA meeting sparks a chaotic support group, six strangers on the edge discover that surviving 'the beast' requires more than just HRT. It takes a stash of gummies, questionable potions, and the realization that they’re too old to give a shit—but too young to give up.

Music is the soundtrack to our lives—it’s how we remember where we’ve been and who we are. I’m Jackie, and I created Rhythm & Hues to turn those personal stories into something you can wear. From your favorite year-end wrap to a tribute to someone special, I design custom shirts that showcase your unique playlist, complete with a scannable QR code that links directly to your music. It’s more than a tee; it’s a snapshot of your sound.

Most clothes are just fabric. RISE is a reminder. It’s for the kids who Reach, Imagine, Shine, and Explore—but who also have the Resilience, Integrity, Strength, and Endurance to stand tall when things get tough.
We design for the dreamers who aren’t afraid to go against the grain and the playmakers who look out for the kid playing alone. Because "Rising" isn't just about getting to the top; it’s about how you carry yourself on the way up.
Wear the Character. Live the Mission.

From the "I Poop A Lot" toddler era to the "Everything is On Fire" menopause years, Random by Design is about calling out exactly what’s happening. We make shirts for the people who don’t take themselves too seriously—whether you're dominating the pickleball court or just trying to survive a hot flash in the grocery store.

The Akward, Holy, Chaotic Middle

I write stories for people who feel a little too much and laugh at the wrong moments. My work lives in books, scripts, and things you can wear—all pulled from the same place: the messy reality of being human.
I’m interested in the things we usually hide: rage, tenderness, menopause, and the humor found in the cracks. I write for the moments when we finally stop pretending we’re fine and start getting real. This site is where those worlds meet.
