I have the great fortune of knowing some really terrific people who happen to support great causes. So it was a happy day for me to be once again recommended to help with design for the Women's Center. At the beginning of my career, a friend brought me on designing an invitation for their annual anniversary luncheon. I was very excited to create that invite which included a very special guest Gloria Steineim. A highlight in my career.

Things have come full circle and here I am designing the next Anniversary Luncheon invitation. Things have changed. Instead of a print piece, this is the eblast for save the date. With social media, web sites and web ads, its easier and cheaper than ever for non-profits like the Women's Center to advertise their events. Plus, a lot of fun ways for designers to express their creativity.

FACT:
Like plumbers with leaky pipes in their own homes,
web designers and designers often neglect their own web sites.

Having to maintain a web site has definitely caused much empathy for my clients. Now when I talk to them about their web site, I am a little less intense. I get it. You only have so much time in the day and that web site is usually the last thing on your mind. Worse yet, I don't really even promote my site. ha! I am bad, bad. So designer heed thy own words and don't neglect your site. :-)
