A brief post it exercise of "my brand"

Please reference “My Design Leadership” presentation for further development.

Also check out a letter to myself 10 years from now:

10 years from now I imagine myself with my family living a happy, warm and inspiring life. My partner and I will have wonderful careers and we will be at jobs we love and moving towards success. I will also be a mentor helping young designers and those who struggle with “life” to better achieve and inspire them to reach for the stars and know they are good enough. I would also like to have a steady volunteer job where I can give back to my community. 

At this point I will be much older with hopefully more wisdom, lasting memories, and a greater sense of self. We will be living between Berlin and Los Angeles, traveling back and forth at our cozy homes. Around us are trees, birds chirping, flowers growing, a garden, a tire swing in the front, a tree house for the kids to play in, puppies running all over, friends laughing, family members smiling. I just want us to have a fulfilling life that is meaningful and has a purpose whatever that means to us. There is fresh air flowing over us, the beach sometimes, the city sometimes, the forest sometimes, and the mountains sometimes will be all around us, depending on where we are at that moment. 

One way I have improved myself is by better understanding myself, greater knowledge, a learner's mindset and the ability to trust and experience great things. I have gained a number of gifts from better relationships, deeper connection to family/ friends/ kids/ my partner. I have also gained and learned so much just by staying open to new possibilities, perspectives, moments, experiences, etc. 

 Life has its ups and downs but I believe “we” will be better equipped to deal with things and not let things stand in our way to live the best life we can. 

 Connecting the dots: creative driven, career and life that build off one another, meaningful memories, healthy ways of living, and a life worth living.

Lives: designer, become a therapist, leader, work on designs I want, start an organization, travel, learn as much as I can and have fun while still staying focused on life/career goals.  

Choose mindfully through action, iteration, flexibility and curiosity
