It’s not easy being a neurodivergent mess. For years I’ve been bumbling about in life trying to achieve my creative goals, facing procrastination, executive dysfunction, and a slew of other issues. But over the years I’ve learned how to cope, how to adapt. And more than anything, I learned that there is nothing wrong with people like us, because what makes us different also makes us unique. And we channel this unique vision in our work.
A new direction
Not everyone sees it this way, which is why I wanted to gather those who were like me and build them up. Both to share my knowledge with them and learn from them. Because one of the most important things I’ve learned is that we’re stronger together.
“empowering those who dare to be different”.
It’s time to start putting our tagline into practice. Today, I proudly announce the Rat Pack Digital Creative Collective.
The creative collective
Simply put, Rat Pack Digital is no longer a solo venture. I’m opening up the brand to other unique creators who will champion the brand and add their own unique touch to everything we do.
In fact, this will be the last blog post I will write in a while. One of our Rat Pack Creators will handle writing the next one! That’s right, we’ve already gotten started and added seven creators to our merry band of misfits. Creators who will spread the word about what we are capable of and whose work will be featured through our channels.
So who can join?
Those who feel disregarded because they don’t fit in can find a home in Rat Pack Digital. The reason we are only allowing creative misfits in is because a brand for everyone is a brand for no one. We are trying to find our niche in a place where we thrive. That which excludes us becomes our biggest strength.
- Neurodivergent folks dealing with things like ADHD or autism
- Folks dealing with trauma
- Folks living on the fringes of society
- Marginalized folks subjected to bigotry

That’s it for now! We only started this initiative a week or two ago, but things are already progressing at unprecedented speed! Next time you’ll hear from us, it’ll be through the voices of our creators. And look forward to seeing their hard work through our channels too.
Have a good one!
