Adaptive Creativity
Creativity should work with you. Not against you.
Your energy, focus, time, space, and hands can change. Find tools and approaches that meet you where you are today, not a rigid idea of what creativity is supposed to look like.

One important note
These categories are a starting point.
They describe parts of the creative experience, not who can or can't use a product. What feels easier for one person may not feel easier for someone else.
Check the product details and choose what works for you. When information comes from the manufacturer, we'll say so.
