What's your most inspiring read, career-wise?

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

At the (almost) end of a call or meeting with a client, I typically do a recap of the notes I've taken regarding the client's project.

I do this to ensure a clear understanding of the assignment, as it aids me in clarifying the project's needs and expectations

Since few years, I use a basic Muji Planner and it's one of must have to work efficiently.
How do you organize your week?

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

I like emails. I like phone calls. But sometimes, do we reeeeeally need that 5 mins video call?

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

"Talk in terms of the other person's interests" is a quote that stuck with me when I read the renowned book How to Win Friends and Influence People.
I've noticed that things always go more smoothly with clients when I apply this principle!

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

One of my favorite tool is.... a basic Muji Planner. I like to be able to see my complete week in a glimpse.

What's your favorite tool to organise yours?

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

Now on Thread. And I can't wait to get all these Shein bot spam again! 🙃

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

Active listening and asking numerous questions are always the keys to get as much clarity as possible to quote for a new project!
Got any other tricks?

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

As a side project, I do some ceramics. To relax and enjoy the moment. And then, I link everything to 3D modeling, sculpting and material... the IRL version.

@marie_bergeron It's gorgeous!!

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

Most of the time, it's simply easier to speak to a client over the phone than getting too many emails.

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

Which business or design-related book provided valuable and practical tips for your career or motivation?

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

@rloubersanes The option #2! The finger play animation is great!

[Amélie Tour @amelietour]

One of my simplest but most efficient tool to get through my weeks is a basic Muji paper planner. What's your?

My "Real Pencil" Blender addon will soon be up on Blender Market and Gumroad.
It controls a 3D pen object following your mouse as you draw.
I designed it first for my own demos, then added some fun... ;)

@asteur Dans la 2e option, les deux personnages se tiennent pourtant encore par la main, mais il sont tristes ensemble! 😆
