Day 51 of #designeachday - #professionaldevelopment I'M BACK!! Thanks for your understanding of the long hiatus. I had a great time with family and am back at it, refreshed and ready to work! Today's post is two of the things I brought home with me after wandering downtown for a few hours today: entertainment newsletter from the library (plus 3 books, not pictured 🤓📚) and a list of places I should look up for work! HUGE thanks to @downtownbham for all the help and encouragement today. I needed it. 💚 . #belocal #dtbham #arts #downtown #library #jobsearch #ilovelibraries #bellinghamster #designerforhire #commissionsopen #lookoutfornewcontent (at Bellingham Public Library - Bellingham, WA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp55lZKAqsl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v2s4xt9m9vfw

Day 47-50 of #designeachday - #learning WE HIT 50 AND WE STILL BUSY 🎉🎊 Been hustling so hard I haven't had time to share it with y'all! Quick recap of what's been happening: - Fri: super productive Makerspace day, lots of MailChimp work on creating new, beautiful newsletters for us 💌🐵 - Sat: writing job descriptions to go on a flyer to the @westernwashingtonuniversity Volunteer fair next week- peep those rad titles 👀 - Today: Dusting off my ratchet suitcase in preparation to see my mami soon! She's coming to visit and I'm getting ready to take an overnight trip to Vancouver with her ya know, get in that girl time 👯 It's only going to get more crazy! I have SO MUCH happening this week, so I'm going to take a break from posting for the most part. Please forgive my absence as I prioritize staying focused on my hustle and not on the likes. Thanks 💚 I promise some quality posts will come out of it! . #hustledontstop #girlonthego #busytimes #movinandshakin #mailchimp #contentwriting #html #layouts #jobsearch #jobposts #volunteer #volunteering #makerspace #jointheteam #westernwashington #govikings https://www.instagram.com/p/BpOndIWgGyK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15ye6oa8ew8ke

Day 47 of #designeachday - #learning Random pic of the Makerspace because we had an AMAZING meeting today! Our fantastic director Mary roped me into the as-yet-unnamed monthly meeting of volunteer leaders from local STEAM/education institutions (see tags for some of them!). What I expected to be a stale, academic 30 min turned into almost 3 hours of excited collaboration and creativity. Can't wait for next month! . #makers #makerspace #makestuff #coalition #volunteering #organization #collaboration #education #museums #stem #steam (at Bellingham Makerspace) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpGpogtA_fH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2g9f7aplae09

Day 46 of #designeachday - #learning Busy day! Had lunch with a bunch of ladies from church amid all the crazy, and here's the thing I keep learning. Being a senior on campus gives you an inflated ego because you know so much more than the underclassmen, and it's time to unlearn that. . #acu #alumni #lifelessons #doesthisevencountasdesign #ididlearnlots https://www.instagram.com/p/BpELpawAVcY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hrsmw51opxiq

Day 45 of #designeachday - #learning Had a fun coffee date with a friend to learn more (meaning play with) about the tools she uses for her art. Turns out they won't work for me, but it's great to know what's out there! . #artists #digitalart #software #coffeeshop #frienddate (at Caffe' Adagio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpBWaYwAWJL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=146ys2783gide

Day 43 of #designeachday - #learning Today was the 4th and last of the #DesignTalks from @invisionapp and it might be my favorite! Gregg's pragmatic, down-and-dirty approach to research appealed to this scrappy young researcher. So much practical advice! Can't wait for the book 🤓 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo0pphEgQ_6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1edk1p6zki0e7

Day 42 of #designeachday - #learning Another brilliant #designtalk today! Learned so much about the importance of using appropriate metrics (in appropriate quantities!) for our projects, including the HEART system developed by @google 🤓 Big thanks to @invisionapp for hosting these fantastic talks! https://www.instagram.com/p/Box_lL3geSe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=odwdnjozh466

Day 41 of #designeachday - #learning No post yesterday because I got sick over the weekend, but today I was finally able to look at screens again! Attended the InVision Design Talks pt 2 on inclusivity in research, and it was absolutely fascinating. Can't wait for pt 3 tomorrow! . #invision #webinar #research #uxresearch #diversity #inclusion https://www.instagram.com/p/BovTV5ZA4QU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=plx6zzpnkjnd
