I’m getting around …

Why you should never leave home without your business cards
Tweet Many of us do so much work online that it’s easy to forget that it’s still so important to have real, physical business cards on hand when you’re on the go. When you’re a business owner you still talk with people when you’re running errands, waiting for your table at a restaurant, sit in [...]
Why You Need to Set Up Your Own Website
Tweet When you have a business you need to have an online presence that reflects not just your products and services but your values. If you sell on Etsy or another of the seemingly infinite online marketplaces you don’t have the choice to change your shop to reflect you and your business. Or, if you [...]
3 Reasons Why You Should Brand Your Email Signature
Tweet How many times have you received an email from someone running their own business asking you a question or inquiring about your services?

Don’t leave potential customers, clients or colleagues wondering [...]
Productivity + Inbox Zero
Tweet I have hit a milestone. Today marks five weeks that I am at “inbox zero.” I cannot tell you the degree to which I underestimated the energy drain of an overflowing inbox.

New Offerings: services
Tweet Whew! I’ve been busy. Some of you may know that I am a graphic designer by trade … it’s my day job. I love what I do but I began screenprinting and opened my shop to fulfill a personal need to make things by hand. So much of the graphic design profession is digital, [...]
Mood-Board-A-Month No. 1
Tweet I did this mood board for the Blogging Your Way class I’m in. It was a great exercise and the first mood board I’ve done in years. This is now a new goal for me: to complete one mood board per month. The words used feel so right for me currently because I’ve begun [...]
Six Must-Reads
Tweet I’m sure I’ve mentioned how much I read, right? I always have something fiction going and I usually have something about business, creativity or self-improvement going at the same time. And I do it every day. I decided to give you all a list of a few I’ve read that I go back to [...]
Goals: lofty or mundane?
Tweet I have a goal. It feels a bit like fantasy right now, but it’s still a goal. Maybe sharing it will make it feel less like fantasy and more like a goal. Something accomplish-able (that’s a word, right?). There’s a desire/idea/image that lives in my head. It goes a little like this: 7am: out [...]
