Faith in eventually.

Making something new takes patience. But it also takes faith. Faith that everything will work out in the end.

During the development of most any product, there are always times when things aren’t quite right. Times when you feel like you may be going backwards a bit. Times where it’s almost there, but you can’t yet figure out why it isn’t. Times when you hate the thing today that you loved yesterday. Times when what you had in your head isn’t quite what you’re seeing in front of you. Yet. That’s when you need to have faith.

There are designs that are close, but not there yet. There are obvious conflicts that will need to be resolved. There are lingering things that confound you, confuse you, or upset you, but you know that eventually they’ll work themselves out. Eventually you’ll find the right way to do something you’ve been struggling with.

It’s hard to live with something that isn’t quite right yet – especially when it’s your job to get it right. It’s important to know when to say “it’s fine for now, but it won’t be fine for later.” Because moving forward is critical to getting somewhere. And, eventually, you’ll figure it all out. It’ll all work out in the end.

This is what I’ve always believed, and have always tried to practice. A dedicated faith in the eventual resolution of a problem, the eventual execution of a concept, and the eventual realization of the right design. Even when something’s poking out you don’t like, or something isn’t aligning quite right, or the words aren’t as elegant as you’d hoped, or something just isn’t easy enough yet, you need to have confidence it’ll all come together eventually.

Remember that what you’re making is in a perpetual state of almost right up until the end. And it's never right even after.

In the meantime, you just press on and keep making things, trying things, and getting closer and closer to the time when you can tie the loose ends into a perfect bow and present it to the world. What fun it is!

Tesla your cars are awesome.

I’m not sure who Joe is but I like how he rolls. Chilled and quiet.

But for when the tunes are blaring, can we get automagic light sync over a certain volume 🎶🤌

Our first Top 50 #WomeninAccounting meet-up of the year in Sydney!

We hosted some Australia-based alumni for a night of networking and a powerful conversation on closing the gender pay gap and mentoring the next generation.

Excited to keep supporting our amazing alumni!

Every year I tell myself

This is it... I won't need to change my proposals next year because it can't get better than this

Then @ignitionapp launches new features, and I have to use them because they have improved upon the previous version!

The new add on feature is going to allow me to customize proposals so clients can choose a la carte or bundle services for a "discount"
