Where Simplicity Meets Possibility
About Our Simple Start
It all began with a moment of frustration. Our founder, Alex Carter, was staring at a cluttered desk, an overflowing inbox, and a to-do list that seemed to grow faster than it shrank. Sound familiar? That’s when the realization hit: life wasn’t supposed to feel this heavy.
Alex started small—clearing out a single drawer, setting boundaries with work, and finding ways to make technology work for them instead of against them. The results were life-changing. What started as a personal experiment turned into a passion for helping others do the same. And so, Make Life Simple Again was born.
Today, we’re a team of writers, strategists, and enthusiasts who believe simplicity isn’t about doing less—it’s about doing what matters most. We’re here to help you find clarity, take action, and create a life that feels as good as it looks.
The edit for a clear life.
We bring a curator’s eye to the details of modern living—how you work, earn, design, and connect—offering only what makes life lighter, sharper, and more intentional.
