Past, Present, or Future

I was having the discussion the other day with some acquaintances about whether each one of us was future or present oriented. I’m not sure how the conversation got started, but we all got to talking whether we really had a plan for our future or whether we lived in the moment that is now. [...]

How About That Resolution?

2010 is flying by and we are halfway through February already! Pretty soon summer will be here and gone and we’ll be putting up Christmas lights before we know it. Did you make a New Year’s resolution? Are you sticking with it? Better yet, do you even remember what it was?
This thought occurred to me [...]

I have 40 new love interests.

I struggle with words. Hence why I’m shy and usually only speak when I have something important to say. It’s also why I struggle with writing blog posts. Trying to find the right words to say and relating them to my profession without sounded like a total fool is nearly impossible for me. So I’m trying something new. A [...]

On or In for 2010?

What does it take to build a truly successful company?  If you do a + b and never do c, do you have a formula for quick growth and profitability?  Many times we believe that if we are great at customer service, control our costs, meet deadlines, and make sure employees are happy, we win.  [...]

Milk’s Up Logo

It is not everyday that you get to design a logo for a breastfeeding campaign. We were told the name of the campaign, and that pink and green were preferred colors.

Whether it is your first or forth [...]

Team Green Dentistry Identity

Do you ever have a project that you cannot wait to wrap up? Well this is not one of those projects. I was exited about this project from the very first meeting I had with Team Green. We recently wrapped up the first stage of this project which was a new identity for the dental [...]

Lessons in Chasing Rabbits

“If you chase 2 rabbits, you won’t catch either one” one of our mentors told us yesterday.  In business, we are often tempted to go in whatever direction seems to be working for that day, focusing not on a specific goal but whatever comes to us.  As a result we often become fragmented with our [...]

Hey Non-Profit, Stop Yelling At Me

Non-profits have a great responsibility. Sometimes this responsibility can be greater than a for-profit business. This responsibility lies in the ability to use entrusted donations to make the biggest impact in a market. Therefore, we applaud non-profits that are using social media for promotional purposes because it is time not dollars that is being spent.
However.
As [...]

Singer Financial Group Logo

Brian Singer, Founder of Singer Financial Group, came to us with the need of branding and a website.
