Design tools for people who make things for a living.
I spent years building websites and brand identities for other people's businesses. Somewhere in there I noticed the same thing over and over: the artists and makers I worked with were brilliant at the making and completely underwater on the business.
They were guessing at prices. Taking commissions on a handshake. Tracking sales in a notebook, or not at all. Not because they were careless — because nobody hands you a system when you decide to sell your work, and building one from scratch is a second full-time job.
So I started building the systems instead.
Adaptive Media Productions is my studio. I'm Kristy — a designer with a background in graphic design, branding, book publishing, and photography, and I make the practical tools I wish somebody had handed me. Pricing calculators that account for your materials, your hours, and an actual profit. Business planners that track inventory and commissions without needing a spreadsheet degree. Contracts you can send without wondering whether you've covered yourself. And printables for the parts of ordinary life that need a little more order — the household, the new baby, the move, the wedding.
Everything here is designed in-house, tested before it goes up, and built to be genuinely usable — not a pretty PDF that sits in your downloads folder forever. If a file gives you trouble, message me. I answer, and I fix it.
HOW MY FILES WORK
Every listing is an instant download. You buy it, you get it immediately, and it's yours to use forever — no subscription, no expiry, no account to maintain. Spreadsheets open in Microsoft Excel or in free Google Sheets. Printables come in both US Letter and A4, so they print correctly wherever you are.
WHAT I'M BUILDING NEXT
New tools go up regularly — more for working artists, more for small creative businesses, and more household and family printables. Following the shop is the easiest way to see them first.
