Hello, friends. Wow, how are we already closing down 2018, and looking right into 2019. What a year, yeah?! We’ve had a full year together – either working together in design and strategies, collaborating on community events, or simply being supportive of each other. We hope your year was as fulfilling and exciting. Here are a few initiatives that we threw ourselves at that are going to carry into the new year:
Client relations and design.
First and foremost, I am beyond thankful for another year in working with amazing clients. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am, who I am… THANK YOU. I’m grateful not only for the exciting projects, but the relationships we build along the way. Also, I am incredibly grateful for the referrals and amazing peers you’ve sent my way. Looking forward to whatever 2019 may bring.
New ventures.
We’ve launched a couple of exciting new things this year.
This new venture with brilliant partners caters to screen printing, dye sublimation, and other large format print needs. We hit the ground running with this one. You can check it out on Facebook or Instagram. Website coming soon!
An exciting addition to Design5sixty4 offerings—inspired by a few conversations, I explored this need to support creatives who are looking to take on their own ventures. We sit down for coaching sessions to create plans that are attainable to encourage success, along with figuring out a price-point to create a livable wage to support the work these creatives are most passionate about. You can read more about it HERE.
Collaboration.
Cottonwood Center for the Arts is an amazing collective of artists and creative businesses. Not only is this where you’ll find me operating my business out of, it’s also a great organization to partner with. We are hosting our second annual holiday party and silent ornament auction with our friends at AIGA Colorado. Check out the event HERE.
I’ve also worked with the wonderful staff here and launched an Artist Cafe event, to discuss artist related topics around skills, business, and support for the arts. Learn more HERE.
Speaking of AIGA Colorado —and coffee for that matter— we’ve worked in building up a fun community event and launched Coffee Talk, where we talk about industry related topics to support emerging, in-house, and independent creatives. This is in partnership with the AIGA satellite chapter in Colorado Springs.
*Cheers to 2019*
Thanks again—everyone—for an exciting 2018. Let’s carry this energy into the new year! We look forward to seeing you and wish you all an amazing holiday season and a happy new year!
