We all need a better story.
How you tell it matters.

We all need a better story. And how you tell it matters.

It’s been a couple of years since The Bumfadumfs’ published. The imaginings of these magical creatures hopping between mushrooms and door corners I enjoy bringing to life. Hopefully we reach more kids with our stories in the coming years.

A dream to work with!

Creativity can be a solo endeavour.

Yes there are creative teams. Yes there are agencies and production offices that help shape content for knowledge, entertainment and human expression.

Yet in most cases, a writer sits alone with their computer. An artist stares solo yet lovingly at an empty canvas. A fashion designer drafts their ideas on sheets of paper. A chef plates a meal on their own. A marketer researches and writes ideas on their couch for hours on end until they get an effective proposition. A lawyer drafts a closing argument late one night over scotch. You get the idea.

Notice how those who do, mostly do it in solitary. Powered by self-motivation and curiosity. This is enough to push the self to start moving.

Creativity needs personal thinking space to thrive. And once it does, eventually it blossoms into a team, a following, and even a community. ❤️

Yeah, for me it’s worth it. 😌

A fresh new logo on a monday.

There is a mighty call for me to work with small businesses. Why? Working with the owner/s is such a fullfiling journey. To craft ideas and make it into reality has always been a motivating point for me, and probably, always will.

Freelance design and photography is also a business venture in itself where you get to wear many hats. So when I talk to someone new, there is a level of relatability for running your own venture.

If you’re looking for a designer, see how they relate to you. If you’re a designer looking for a client, do the same.

Because creativity is a skill one does with heart. ❤️

Happy Monday folks!

If you’re a creative, then you get this.

We blur the lines between work and life. We like staying in the flow. For our sanity.

It helps make one happy and chill. To express and to share. And to know that what we’re doing has purpose despite what everyone else is saying.

You’ll know you’re doing work well when you don’t need a vacation from it.

‘Better is better than more.’
- Seth Godin

Understanding your worth leads to knowing which clients to take. Not everyone who needs your skills and services are willing to pay for your time.

We have this misconception when it comes to talent-based tasks. We coin the term ‘value for money’. The longer it takes, the more expensive it is.

But let’s sit with that for a bit and reframe it. Wouldn’t you be willing to pay the right amount if someone could do the work faster?

Skill takes time to develop. And what is really being paid for is the time it took for you to learn how to do your work faster.

Keep this in mind the next time someone asks you to do something for free or say that your rates are expensive. 🤙
