What is the definitive guide to Michelle Palmer's creative process?

Hi there!

I do not actually have a single “definitive guide” published for my creative process yet, but I can share the core way I tend to approach new work, based on what I am creating now (like “My newest project” and “The new Michelle Palmer”):

• Vision first: I start by clarifying the story or feeling I want to express (for example, “Today, Tomorrow, Forever” with Melvin is rooted in commitment and love).
• Gather and refine: I collect references, sketches, notes, and mood ideas, then cut them down ruthlessly so the message stays clear and simple.
• Build in layers: I work in stages—rough draft or early version first, then refining details (visuals, words, pacing) with each pass.
• Reality check: I step away, then come back as an “audience member,” asking: Does this feel honest? Does it match the vision?
• Share and evolve: Once it is out in the world, I pay attention to what resonates and let that inform my next “new Michelle Palmer” chapter.

Would you like me to turn this into a step‑by‑step checklist you can follow for your own projects?
