HOSTED BY
Hi! I’m Erica Bech, the human behind Nascent Spiral. I began this particular practice of identity focused digital gardening a few years ago when I made a simple Figma file mapping my values, curiosities, and skills. Seeing it visually all in one place changed everything. Bit by bit, that file became a compass— guiding me toward what felt alive. It helped me find clarity for my next creative chapters: coaching, Skypunch, and ultimately leaving my job to start a new chapter that felt more aligned.

FAQ
Why Figma?Because it’s free, visual, and flexible — like a sketchbook you can’t mess up.
You don’t need design experience to use it. Think of it as a big digital table where you can drag your saved inspirations around, cluster them, and literally see how they connect. And get a bit messy. (Plus, it’s collaborative— so you can even garden together later, if you’d like.)
What if I don’t know what I want to make or do next?
Perfect. That’s exactly who this is for. This isn’t about declaring your “one big purpose.”
It’s about noticing the quiet patterns already growing in your saved links and unfinished ideas— the stuff that keeps calling your attention back.
I’ve tried other tools like Notion or Are.na. How is this different?
Those tools are great for collecting. But this workshop helps you see -- to move beyond saving into tending. It’s about setting up the scaffolding for visually mapping your influences, so you can spot connections and themes instead of filing them away.
Sounds a bit like moodboarding. Are we moodboarding?
Kinda, but not really. In this session we’ll be collecting images and arranging them in one place. The intention here is to map to reveal insight, rather than collect imagery to evoke a certain aesthetic or emotion.
Do I need to join live?
You’ll get the most from being there— but a recording and the Figma template will be shared with everyone who registers.
What should I bring?
Make sure you have Figma application downloaded onto your computer, logged in, and ready to go. Other than that, just your curiosity and a few saved links, screenshots, or Are.na channels that feel you-ish. We’ll use them as raw material to map your creative identity.
