Just finished listening to the latest Design Futures podcast interview with very own Rachel Suflita McKee.
I smiled so much my cheeks hurt and even squirted a tear (shocking!) Mostly, I'm really proud of her and her career journey at Pinkergreen. If you’re a client who has been lucky enough to work with Rachel or a student who wants to learn more about working at and growing within a design agency — listen up!

unapologetically epic season one wrap up- over the last 11 months- we covered a lot of topics from creating your creative manifesto, you as a brand, how to find your creative process- translate into a folio- what it means to have creative passion- how I predict trends- the process of concept to actualization- breaking rules and convention for authentic brand moments - exercising design restrain fighting against perfectionism - having creative discipline - getting out of your box - how to create fantasy - how to tell stories - defining my studios north story- the area of letting go - photography as inspiration - sharing my creative hacks - digital ideation - the importance of failure - brand blandness and the fight against vanilla - the art of disconnection- having project nightmares- and just being grateful for all the lessons learned. We even crossed into the scary question of why we are here. And called for a creative revolution. I cannot wait for Season Two that will launch next February. I am working on an exciting season and bringing new perspectives to the table.
Thank you for listening- for following- for adding to the conversation.
See you all in 2024. #podcast#podcastdesign#design
I remember one of these specific PJisms, and design principle of PJ Onori's when we worked together, spending less time on design artifacts. Fast forward to when we started the podcast, I've always wanted to record an episode about our ISMS, and what were some design principles that have followed us along.
We'll be dropping some more of these backlog episodes that we recorded over the winter, but have been sitting as b-sides over the next few months!

☀️ Summer is just about here, and we have some great episodes coming ahead. Today, PJ Onori and I talk about starting to say NO to more things as we mature our systems.
We’ve spoken at length about ensuring we map all work back to business goals of the org, but on this ep we use examples of contributions as something that can go wrong when not providing the same level of resourcing. There’s no shortcuts to doing good work.

So here's a FANTASTIC example of how powerful an audio brand can be: https://lnkd.in/g9y4HAsN .
Twenty Thousand Hertz is more of a narrative style podcast and I don't get to listen to every one of their episodes (due to time constraints in my schedule) - but I definitely COULD binge it and it would be totally worth it. 😉
If you're interested in sound, definitely subscribe! (Thanks for the suggestion of this particular episode, Patrick Kirchner 🎙!). If you listen to the end, the last things said there are what I often hear from the talented folks who are on my podcast doing this blend of sound and marketing. It's both a creative pursuit and a psychological one. Just one of the reasons why I love learning more about it myself. Check it out! I hope you love it as much as I do.

Biggest mistake I hear — especially from execs — is that brand and demand are separate things. They aren’t.
When done right, brand fuels demand.
BUT brand isn’t your logo, colors, or style guide.
→It's your reputation
→It's how you make people FEEL
→It's what people say about you when you’re not around
And when done right, it drives action.
And those actions lead to revenue.
Doug Landis dropped this gem on Episode 4 of Reed Between The Lines. He’s a triple OG who gets brand and collects tattoos. Might be why we vibed on our first meeting.

I know how we innately want to fit in with everyone. It’s a form of being validated, but as Chelsey explains, it's always to your benefit personally and professionally to own who you are rather than fit into social constructs. That’s a true personal brand.
Chelsey's mission is to help you bravely learn how to build your own brand without the overwhelm or the overspending.
Chelsey is my very own brand manager and web designer. We've known each other since 2013 and she has been on my team through many of my own seasons of becoming.
During the episode, we go behind the scenes of what it takes to truly understand who you want to become in your business and how to translate that online.
As a new single mom she speaks vulnerably about her life and how her intuition redirected her back to her own purpose.

I've run the #GroovePodcast for over eight years and today am saying goodbye for good, handing it over to the editorial team.
For this mix, I layered 87 different GROOVE Magazin mixes on top of each other because that only aptly reflects the state of things after all this time.
It sounds terrible and you needn't listen to it, but I also wrote a lil' text about the why and how, etc. if you're interested. https://bit.ly/konPod
