7 Lesson from a Graphic Designer
I have reflected on my 15 years as a professional graphic designer and compiled a list of lessons that I have learned. I am excited to share these with you at the first Creative Mornings event in Cleveland.

Favorite quotes from this talk See all
Find out who you are and never let go.
You have to trust yourself before anyone else can trust you.
My whole goal is just to speak from the heart.
Speaking- which is the most humbling thing; standing in front of a room full of your peers, if I don't trust what I'm saying then it's going to sound like a bunch of crap to you.
Don't be afraid of the unknown, embrace the white wall and replace your fear with curiosity.
