Rosa Lee Timm / More & Only™
Language.
Art.
Being.
There is what we say — and there is what lives between.
A creative home for ASL, performance, storytelling, reflection, and intentional living.
Three doors into the work.
Not services. Entry points.
Why do some lives feel like ours — and others feel like assigned roles?
Why does some signing feel emotionally true, and some feel correct but distant?
Why do some performances stay with us, and others vanish?
Three different questions. Three different ways in.
Reflections
Alignment.Less noise. More truth. Only what matters.
Step Into Reflections →The Studio
Expression.Where rhythm shapes language, and meaning lives in the spaces between.
Step Inside the Studio →Creative Work
Authenticity.DASL, authenticity reads, and creative consulting for film, television, and performance.
Step Into the Work →Language
Between the Beats.
A self-paced course on the artistry of American Sign Language — rhythm, timing, and what lives between the signs.
Always reach
for more.
Only what's true.
More & Only™ began with a name.
"More" comes from Gallimore —
my lineage,
the place I come from.
"Only" is something I kept returning to:
there is only one me.
Only one you.
From that, a practice took shape.
To reach for more —
more depth,
more clarity,
more of what actually nourishes.
But only what fits.
Only what is true.
Only what is yours to carry.
This is the thread that runs through everything here.
Name SignTimm
I grew up Deaf, in a Deaf family.
American Sign Language (ASL) is not just my first language — it is how I move through the world. How I hold a story. How I find rhythm in silence and meaning in the space between signs.
Over time, I stopped asking whether art was accessible to me and started asking what it looked like through me.
That question still shapes everything I create.
Rosa Lee Timm is an executive leader, artist, performer, and creative educator whose work lives at the intersection of ASL, storytelling, performance, and intentional living. Over two decades she has performed on DeafBroadway, at Lincoln Center, on PBS, and on stages across the country — creating work rooted in embodied language, identity, and the philosophy of More & Only™.
