I’ve been enjoying the #365patterns hashtag on Instagram. While there is no way I’ll be able to contribute 365 different patterns, I hope to jump in when I can.

A few weeks ago, Erin Loechner of Design for Mankind tweeted that she needed a new planner/agenda. I’m forever grateful to Kory Woodward, who suggested the Day Designer to Erin. In case you don’t read Design for Mankind, let me give you the 411: it’s awesome. Thoughtful, informative, and purposeful. On top of that awesome…
The first full day at Alt Summit was solid. I took good notes, walked away with a few nuggets, figured out a couple things I didn’t know. I say that conferences, for me, are nuggets and network. I want to go home with a few ah-ha moments, and a few new friends. Safe to say,…

Literally, I’ve spent days agonizing over the wardrobe decisions for this trip….

I posted this quote on Instagram last week, and instantly there were comments. Someone emailed to ask if I would make it into a print. Several others emailed to simply connect, and a couple of emails actually turned into phone conversations. The image actually got the most likes of any image I’ve posted, ever. It…
