The Daily Stoic
A few years ago I was gifted the book “The daily Stoic” by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman.
I read it with a friend daily and we texted our thoughts without judgement. The experience was priceless for both of us.
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BCE)

The Designer Pause
Remember: silence isn’t empty. It’s elegant.
Branding
Branding isn’t built in a studio—it’s built in the moments between meetings, at networking events, and even while waiting for your latte.
From Drawings to Dialogue
Designers aren’t just visual thinkers—we’re translators of imagination.
When you can turn drawings into dialogue, every presentation becomes a partnership.
Ask
Make Bold Requests (Even If It Scares You)
Speak Vision
If all you communicate is “what to do,” people will leave.
Hustle
Hustle isn’t the same as progress.
Influence
You can’t demand influence—you earn it
Resilience
You’re not born resilient—you become resilient.
Green Light
Sometimes we wait for a green light that never comes. A promotion. A signal. Someone saying, “Go ahead.” But what if the real signal is… you?
