Been using @Adobe since pagemaker without issue - until recently. Now I’ve spent nearly 10/24hrs with 4 dif support agents. 1 good, 2 who abandoned me and 1 who didn’t even try. Waiting for #5. #softwareproblem #graphicdesign #GuessImNotImportant #lostproduction #wanttocry

This makes my heart happy... and the rest of me a big sappy puddle. 💙💙💙😭

Guess who we’re bringing to Boston. #stlblues #WeAllBleedBlue

You’d have thought maybe someone throughout the design process would’ve offered constructive criticism to steer this in a better direction? #graphicdesign #logodesign #imageisimportant #whatareyoucommunicating

Joe Biden’s logo has a problem I can’t unsee https://t.co/hCD0257I95

The only “silver lining” in this redesign is that at least the Ford government is appearing to respect the design process and not just opening this up to a contest. #graphicdesign #logodesign #designprocess @RGD

Another makeover for Ontario. This time our Trillium logo. Not the first time it's been redesigned.
But, do you really think it looks like 3 guys in a hot tub?

Back to routine today after the #2019BIAConf but not sure how effective I’ll be... late home and up early with the dog. So many great ideas after 3 days of learning though! #alwayslearning #FiredUp #backtowork #graphicdesigner #goderichproud

@GoderichDwntown Getting ready for another round of learning at the 2019 OBIAA Conference! #2019BIACONF #ottawa #alwayslearning #goderichproud

Trying desperately to be an optimist this morning despite the tooth ache throbbing through my head... #goodday #timeforthedentist #changeperspective #optimism #worktodo #graphicdesigner #ouch

Discovered @rgay in the last couple of weeks after doing one of her @skillshare classes. I finished the audiobook of Hunger in a couple of days - her story, read by her was compelling, heartbreakingly beautiful and so relatable in many ways. #greatread #inspiringwoman #kudos

A valid tip for any manager and/or employer... your staff often give more of their life/waking hours to the job they do for you than anything else.

"If I should have a daughter, instead of "Mom," she's going to call me "Point B," because that way she knows that no matter what happens, at least she can always find her way to me." @kaysarahsera #InternationalWomensDay

Gotta wonder what kinda abstract creative realm you’re heading into when you’re singing Tangled’s “Mother Knows Best” to distract the dog from bugging the sick kid you just put down for a nap... #creativeweirdo #disneyvillains #usuallyIgowithUrsula

[Nicole Griffin @FishbowlStudio1]

So taking time to be bored fosters creativity... this totally makes sense when I think about when I have some of my best ideas! #creativeprocess #graphicdesign #creativity #alwayslearning

I’ve become the retentive individual I’ve always feared I’d become - I’m working with invisible characters turned on. #noextraspaces #typesetting #graphicdesigner #attentiontodetails #layout #butitlookssomuchbetter

Fulfilled another promise I’d made to myself today and ordered the last book I need to study before registering to become a certified registered graphic designer. #professionaldevelopment #graphicdesigner #rgdontario #abouttime #selfconfidence #levelup
