The Quickest Brand Identity Project I’ve Ever Completed

I designed the logo, website, and a social media theme TODAY in 8 hours. Now, I usually can't pull these types of miracles for my clients, so don't expect it!

In case you missed it, I started a self-challenge yesterday when I declared to the entire blogosphere that it was time for me to get back into shape...again. I am doing this through a heart-healthy diet, exercise (cardio and resistance training), as well as documenting my journey (via social media, i.e. blogging and RunKeeper). In … Continue reading Day 2 Seems To Be The Hardest →

21 Days To A New Me (And You)

After a few weeks of feeling mentally energetic but physically demotivated, I've decided that it's time to flip the switch (again).
