Hello MindSumo solvers! My name is Wade Forbes and I'm a co-founder of Redtale Communications. While it may seem strange for me to be posting this challenge as an individual, I'm excited to get your help with a problem I'm facing.

For some background, I spent 16 years in the cybersecurity space before I completely changed careers to follow my passion - drawing and illustration. I specialize in illustration, graphic recording & sketch noting, which is where organizations hire me to sit in on important meetings and events so I can capture the notes and key points in an engaging visual illustration.

Understandably, this brought a tremendous amount of stress & anxiety into my life.

Over time, this simple act of creating a daily dose of hopeful content helped me overcome the negative downward spiral I was experiencing, which is something I feel millions of people need right now.

I now have a library of over 220 of these drawings/quotes, and I'm anxious to figure out the best way to get this content into the hands of people who need a hopeful boost. I don't have experience setting up online stores or selling products, but I do know that I want the drawings to be purchased & viewed off of devices.
