WELCOME TO CREATING CONFIDENTLY

Explore. Create. Grow.

Hi! I'm Emily Newell - Aspiring author, dance teacher and Creative

HOW IT GOT STARTED

I got started on this journey wanting to explore what compelled me to create and what was holding me back from sharing my passions with the world, and I want other creatives to join in and thrive. I love reading and writing novels, music that moves me and makes me want to dance, podcasts that fuel my creativity and learning new skills. Let's make some crappy creations and rejoice in our growth as we learn and create at all levels of proficiency. I hope you'll join me on this exploratory journey and check out my instagram over @creating.confidently for a taste of what is to come!
