This post sings a bit of a different tune. It's more about the lulls in energy or drive that hit me in my daily life, be it work related, training related, or personally related. It seems more so than ever I am aware that my life really is a series of unbalanced scales. I have … Continue reading Temporary Lulls Are Just That…Temporary →

The Best Way To Motivate Every Creative

I love what I do. I love it, I love it, I love it. It is days like today that I thank the starry sky above that I've been blessed with the brains, determination, and opportunity to pursue my passions fearlessly. Last night I slept when I wanted to. This morning, I woke up when I … Continue reading The Best Way To Motivate Every Creative →

Unleashing The Humble Artist Inside

For the most part I don't really consider myself an artist. I think it's because I'm jealous that real artists have talent. (Designers have talent too, I suppose. Just a different type of talent, a combinative talent of sorts.) Which then begs the question, what is the difference between art and design?

Why I Love Social Media

It's fun connecting with people online...but it's even better having the eyes and ears of all of your friends a few keystrokes away.

He believed in us before we ever did. The passing of @jeffgallowayolympian is an unimaginable loss for the @rundisney community today 💙💚 May his positivity continue to encourage us on our hardest days and runs, one footfall at a time. Garden leave, book 3: “The Obstacle is the Way” by @ryanholiday. 5/5. Takeaways: 1) No one is coming to save you, 2) Don’t wait for an epiphany in order to begin, 3) Focus on the problem, not your reaction to it. Garden leave, book 2: “Possible Minds.” 2/5. It is a very dense read of multiple essays and I couldn’t feign any more interest after two weeks. I design for AI and I can’t even stand this book. Abandoning it for the second time! Garden leave, book 1: “Life is in the Transitions.” 4/5. Takeaways: 1) Embrace the chaos 2) No one has their life together 3) There’s not one right way to approach change. Garden leave, stop 3: Disney World for the Festival of the Arts 🎨  A good time as always Home life 🐾 Garden leave, stop 2: Seattle! It was great seeing some familiar faces 💙 Garden leave, stop 1: Phoenix. Taking a breather.
