Community Support

More than just a guide, you can book a 1:1 support session with EMC if you need further guidance, feedback, or just a fresh perspective.

Designed for Growth

These toolkits don’t just help you get started-they support you with the mindset, strategies, and tools to grow your creative projects authentically and sustainably.

Starting as an emerging creative is both exciting and daunting. The journey requires balancing creative vision, financial planning, project management and developing meaningful connections with community and audiences. Drawing insights from experienced creators like Jamz Supernova from EMC’s podcast EMCAST and Elijah from his Yellow Squares Live talks last year presented by EMC, Toolkit #1 covers six essential areas for creative development:

Define Your Identity: Trust the Process
Self-Sufficiency: Take Charge
Build Community: Connect and Grow
Goal Setting: Focus & Adapt
Embrace Feedback: Learn and Refine
Financial Focus: Build Gradually

At the core of the first toolkit is the Creative Development Canvas—a practical tool that enables creatives to map out goals, track progress, and strategically shape their creative path in a structured way.
