A newsletter and community for creatives,
small business owners & soft folks who love rituals.
Hi, I’m Yarrow.
I’m a web designer, writer, grief companion, and artist living on the east coast of Scotland.
Through my two small businesses — Pink Well Studio and Glimmer Portal — I support kind, thoughtful people in building creative and meaningful lives. My work weaves together web design, tech support, and mentoring with ritual, grief work, and artistic expression.
At Pink Well Studio, I help creatives grow rooted, ethical businesses — offering websites, tech days, and heart-felt mentoring that feels gentle, strategic, and deeply human. I also host the Kind Business podcast for folks who want to do things differently.
At the Glimmer Portal, I offer grief companionship, handmade memory quilts, and a podcast called Grief Glimmers, where I explore the sacredness of loss, ritual, and creative remembrance.
My path toward a creative livelihood has been beautiful, challenging, and sometimes very messy. I began back in 2015, sharing daily on social media — posting, comparing, doomscrolling. It worked until it didn’t. In 2020, after a serious fall at the top of my snowy stairs on New Year’s Eve that left me with permanent injuries, I was forced to slow down — and reimagine how I wanted to work and connect.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
Our bodies are invaluable, insightful mentors
While Instagram can be fun, I’m all-in on DIY media & thoughtful long-form content
Building a creative practice with heart & longevity doesn’t happen overnight — but it’s worth it
This space is for creatives, grievers, and slow-builders who want to do things differently.
It’s where I share reflections, workshops, and podcast episodes — alongside soft invitations to gather, make, and imagine together.
I’m so glad you’re here.
Love,
Yarrow
