Hi, I’m Becca! 👋 I’m a graphic designer and creative director from central Indiana, and I live with my husband and our four boys. 🏡

I’ve been designing professionally for 18 years. I’ve led design teams, art-directed a national magazine, and built brands for everything from real estate to a statewide agency that serves Indiana families. Right now I’m a creative director in sports media, which means football season brings some very long weeks. Add four boys’ schedules on top, and our house is a busy one!

With that much going on, our budget has to be simple. Our money comes in by the paycheck, but every budget we tried was built around the calendar month. So my husband and I made our own: give every paycheck a plan, know which bills each check covers, and snowball our debt one balance at a time. It’s how we budget every payday.

As a designer, I wanted it to look as good as it works. Every planner here is designed by me: clean, easy to read, ink-friendly, and made for real life at the kitchen table (or on your iPad during baseball practice).

📱 THE FAMILY BUDGET APP
Prefer to budget on your phone? I also designed The Family Budget, a paycheck budgeting app for families. It uses the same method as our planners: plan every paycheck, track every bill, and see the week you’ll be debt-free. You and your partner each get your own login and share one budget.

You’ll find it in the website link on this page, with a free demo to try.

Thanks so much for supporting a small, family-run business. 💚
Becca
