🎨 Welcome to Jack of Trade University
A School of Thought for the Self-Taught.
An Artist’s Mark by Shimmer.
This isn’t corporate. This isn’t credentialed.
This is real work for real people who use whatever they’ve got —
hands, heads, heart —
to fix, build, make, break, learn, try again, and leave things better.
Jack of Trade University is a living canvas — a workshop, a wisdom library, and a sanctuary for the thinkers, doers, and dreamers who’ve always been “a little too dangerous” to fit in any one box.
What You’ll Find Here
🛠️ Tools of the Trade
Free resources, printable checklists, how-tos, shortcuts, and real-life workflows that work outside a cubicle.
🧠 Thinking Like a Jack
Philosophies, mind-maps, and lessons learned the hard way — shared the easy way.
🎓 Unlearning to Learn Again
Forget the factory model. You don’t need permission to understand what matters. Learn from lived experience, story over syllabus.
💬 Workshops & Walk-Alongs
Join Shimmer and other multi-skilled misfits in real talk, creative brainstorms, and problem-solving power hours.
“You know so much, you’re dangerous.”
I’ve heard it more times than I can count.
Now I wear it like a badge.
This site isn’t about showing off. It’s about showing up —
for yourself, for your family, for your future.
With your sleeves rolled. With your soul lit.
And your skills finally being seen.
This Is Not a School.
It’s a circle of craftsmen and creators.
A kitchen table with soldering irons and spiral notebooks.
It’s what happens when you say,
“Let me help — I know how.”
✍️ Artist’s Mark
Every lesson, every page, every tool here is left with my mark — not a ™, but a 💧drop of ink, sweat, and love.
This is my signature. Welcome to the workshop.
