Envisioning Possibilities
WISDOM
Wisdom and Big Wind Day share a common thread: they both make you go, “Whoa!” Wisdom is like that sage advice from your grandma that always seems to hit the nail on the head. It’s the culmination of life’s lessons, wrapped up in a neat package of insight and understanding. And then there’s Big Wind Day, a celebration of meteorologists who nailed a forecast predicting a major gust. It’s like Mother Nature saying, “Hold onto your hats, folks!” So, whether it’s the wisdom of knowing when to bring an umbrella or the excitement of watching trees do the tango on Big Wind Day, both remind us that knowledge is power – and sometimes, it’s just plain cool.
Cats are always full of wisdom for the most part quietly observing their surroundings. This windy cat made me laugh out loud. Nothing was going to move him/her. Standing or sitting her ground no matter what. Image by Thomas G of Pixabay
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.
How Humor Can Lighten the Room
A smile can make your design pitch twice as memorable. Humor, when done right, isn’t about being a comedian it’s about being human. A little laughter reminds everyone that design is supposed to bring joy, not stress. So the next time you walk into a presentation, bring your sense of humor along with your fabric swatches. You’ll leave behind not only a beautiful concept but also a positive impression.
