Changes Ahead

It’s been a while since my last post….needless to say, I’ve been swept up in the hectic nature of agency life. In the past few months I’ve taken on 3 new clients, two new interns, a jewelry-making side business and a band. With all the big changes, I’m feeling inspired and plan to make a [...]

Green Gift Wrap for the Holidays

Filed in Do It Yourself,Inspiration, December 22, 2010, 6:40 pm by

I started this holiday season with the goal of green gift wrap: 100% recycled, eco-friendly, I-can-sleep-at-night, gift wrap. Admittedly, I did not achieve my goal, BUT made strides in the right direction. A simple google image search served as inspiration. My starting point quickly became: What do I have lying around my house that I can use, [...]

Creative Inspiration

I think it’s the perfect example of using everyday things in new ways – an essential skill to the well trained rummager. It sounds cheesy but I [...]

Inspiration Board Progress

Filed in Ideas,Inspiration, January 12, 2010, 2:16 am by ,

Moving into my first ever office at Laughlin Constable proved the perfect motivation to finish my inspiration board. Now, I’m hesitant to use the word “finished” because I don’t think an inspiration board can ever be finished, rather it evolves: New pictures can always be added and old ones taken down. BUT for the time being I’m really happy with it’s appearance. [...]

Inspiration Board

Filed in Inspiration, October 6, 2009, 12:26 am by ,

Thanks in part to a wonderful book, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about creativity. Specifically, my recent lack of it. The eye-opening book I speak of is Daniel Pink’s “AWhole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule The Future“. The book discusses the six aptitudes of right-brained individuals that will give them an edge in [...]
