The Muse Papers

written by jasmin johanna neidhart

The Muse Papers lives somewhere between a notebook, a studio desk, a kitchen table, and a window with warm light. Here, I write about the inner life and the creative life.
About doubt and curiosity. About work and rest. About beauty, care, and building things on your own terms. It is not about perfection. It is not about performance.
It is about paying attention. To what moves us. To what nourishes us. To what keeps us awake to life. The Muse Papers is written for sensitive, curious, ambitious people who want to create beautiful things without abandoning themselves along the way.

Lineage

on meaning and becoming

inside the creative process

On the art of everyday life. Places, homes, travel, food, rituals, self-care, and small moments that ground us. About building a life that feels good from the inside out. About noticing what holds us and returning to it.

rituals, places, nourishment

threads of influence

On influences and creative ancestors. Artists, writers, designers, thinkers, and quiet rebels who shaped how we see and work. A space for honoring where ideas come from and remembering that we never create alone.

Thoughts on meaning, uncertainty, growth, success, fear, and becoming. What it feels like to move through life with an open heart and a questioning mind. About staying curious. About learning to trust yourself. About not giving up on softness in a loud world.

On making things with care.
Photography, filmmaking, design, writing, process, tools, mistakes, and quiet breakthroughs. Sometimes conversations with other makers. Always about learning, refining, and keeping the joy in creating.

Jasmin is a visual storyteller and creative director. Through The Muse Papers, she writes about creativity, work, and everyday life as it really is. Curious, imperfect, sometimes uncertain, often joyful. Always rooted in care and a love for building things slowly and honestly.

I thought and thought and thought. I tried to be clever.I tried to think of big names.Of impressive stories.Of people from […]

Occasionally sent.

Letters from the in-between. Notes on creativity, doubt, joy, work, rest, and the small details that make life feel alive.
Sent slowly. Written honestly. Meant to be read with a cup of something warm.
