@gracebuiltco @rowanmade Thank you so much! 💕

My absolute two favorite design newsletters right now come from: @SpruceRd and @rowanmade. They both take different approaches with their newsletters, but I find myself referring back to them constantly. If you don't already, subscribe! 🤩

@sweetbluebirdde 💕💕💕 You're just the sweetest!!! Thankful for your encouragement!

@SpruceRd Absolutely!!!! I have followed you from the beginning and am a huge fan!

Wondering what project management system to use for you and your clients? 17 hats was the first one that I used when I started years ago and am happy to see this review from Jamie of @sprucerd! You will love it. Super easy to follow and honest. Win/win! sprucerd.com/blog/17hats

Anyone else out there a chronic researcher?!? I'm talking... the type that scours Yelp for restaurant reviews each time before going out. (you'll find me looking at all 200 photos in the reviews before committing 🙈). I've learned that as business own… ift.tt/2MoDJNu

People often ask “How do you convince customers to XYZ?” Answer: I never try to convince anyone to do anything. There are plenty of people who *want* to do something, *want* to try something, are *ready* for a change. Sell to those customers.

@ssincerelysteph Well this just made my day 🤗!! Congrats on starting your business, I'm so so excited to come alongside you and make it fun and not so overwhelming! xo

Investing in the Shareworthy Design Course from @SpruceRd was one of the best career decisions I have made. #HighlyRecommened

This past weekend was one for the books. I went to the @convertkit (now Seva!) #craftcommerce conference and had a chance to meet online pals in real life. Ya... I left full of ideas for my business, but the most impact came from conversations and dance … ift.tt/2zcAJgW

80 hour weeks make room for waste, not work.

Last week I chatted alllll about color in my new design process newsletter series. Though pretty nerdy, it was easily one of my favorite posts (and yours too by the replies — thank you!). There's a lot that goes into the design process. Sometimes I think… ift.tt/2Jjryvy

I replied to about 50 emails last week in response to my upcoming newsletter series all about the design process! I tossed it over to my newsletter pals (subscribers/list seems too impersonal... yes?) to see what piques your interest most about the desig… ift.tt/2xlIq3x

Who here loves Adobe InDesign?! 🙋I'm betting most of you made a cringing face when reading that question (and tempted to keep on scrollin')! I remember being thrown into InDesign when working at the university, and man... it was overwhelming to this … ift.tt/2uJ8Drm
