Fostering creativity in our household is one of the most important things JR and I try to do as parents. Today we look into our family's five truths and break them apart. Curiosity, Honesty, Self-expression, Creativity and Love. These truths have helped us guide our daughter into the wonderful human that she is today by creating a safe place for her to create and explore.

This Thursday we take a look at how I respond to forecasting and trends- how they help inform my design solutions for the brands I am lucky enough to work with. And how I try to navigate prediction. 

This Sunday/Monday we look at how much passion do you want to commit to your craft? What is the right amount? Is there a right amount? Can you achieve balance? Are you ready to surrender yourself to the process and commit with every part of your being? Because any sane person would just give up- so you better love what you do. Let’s start a conversation. Where are my creatives out there like me? A little crazy in love? 

This week we are talking about graphics and understanding information architecture- Regardless of your discipline it is truly important to understand how to organize your thoughts visually on a page for story telling. We look at the foundational elements you need to understand as a design human. Because you can not break the rules until you know what the rules are. 

Is creativity dead? Seeking true creative expressions in an over saturated world. My unfiltered thoughts. Let’s reclaim pause time to create true creativity.

Representing your work on-line; how do you highlight projects, how you begin thinking about balancing the beginning middle and end of a process is all about balance. This week we take a look at some thought starters about how you might categorize your work, and what parts to pull into the main navigation for easy of hierarchy.

Building your portfolio kingdom is one of the most important endeavors a creative person can do- We are going to begin to look at the task of starting- how to begin to assemble your work, evaluate what you may need to rework, how to flow the elements cohesively and how to tell a compelling story.

Your creative process acts as a guideline to your thinking process.  It is unique and special to you. We explore what a process should contain, what it means to you, how to find yours and build and implement your kingdom. 

You are a brand. 

This is the essence of who you are visually. Building off your creative manifesto- we look at how you can start to identify all of the non verbal representation in visual elements including your tone of voice, colors, texture fonts. Today we take a look at my process of how I like to create a personal brand identity. 

Your Creative Manifesto.

Your WHY. The element that helps create your North Star to help guide your design decisions and your career path.

Let’s create something that changes everything.
