The official ROI on branding exists!

It simply means USING your brand everywhere. Not JUST getting a deck and then designing by instinct.

It means using the fonts, colors, layouts, and consistent personality across the board.

Let's do this! Not only will it increase revenue, it means you need to think LESS when you design something new, not more. It means you already have a foundation with which to expand your brand.

I LOVE expanding brands. Brands should act like a rubber band: they should be flexible, expand to include many things, and still stay consistent.

I started out in a yuge ad agency in midtown NYC, too intimidated by the graphic designers to actually train as a designer. I stayed in the client-liaison department.

One day, the company had an in-house art show of work by all the designers. I submitted a painting, even though I wasn't one of the oh-so-cool designers.

The creative director of this yuge advertising agency called me personally to tell me that my piece was the best one in the show.

1 yr later, I jumped ship and came to Israel to study figurative painting. The school director later told me that that piece from the show was the one that got me into the program.

Enter real life. I needed to earn a living, one that didn't involve overanalyzing my internal monologue. So, 8 years later, I studied, discovered Iloved, graphic design.

It turns out? There are things I learned in painting that carried over.

Besides, I think it's time for me to bring my internal monologue back into the light, alongside the design work I've been loving this whole time. Enter

It seems I'm using AI a lot more than I imagined, and somehow learning new methods over time.

I mean, AI has its weird (Video results are weirder than static image results, and good LORD does AI hallucinate facts while stating them with absolute certainty...)

But am I worried it's gonna take my job? NOPE.

Digital design platforms didn't. The .com boom didn't. And Canva didn't.

They all turned out to be tools that designers had to learn, embrace and use on a daily basis.

AI may be changing HOW we design, but it's not changing the fact that we DO get to design.

And it means I never have to tell a client "no you can't just 'turn the person around' in photoshop" ever again.

Branding and cleaning for Passover have a weird crossover: renewal through a lottttt of soul-searching cleaning!

But if you're here to read this carousel, you're not cooking enough.

Or you're one of the lucky ones lucky that only have to to find some chocolate eggs in the yard and call it a day.

Or your April Fool's prank on your boyfriend went horribly wrong.

Whichever way you are commemorating this week, think deep, because it's your time to shine anew!

Wartime memories. This started during the last dramatc lockdown and it's still one of my favorites.

Inspired by leather tomes, academic excellence, vellum torah scrolls, and the motion of ever-evolving thought.

Major Jewish organizations out of Canada seem to be my jam these days. I'm here for it.

It is uncomfortable to find that my own internal brand identity has suddenly hit an unyielding blocade.

Living in Israel right now means that my daily reality is defined entirely by avoiding anything that is not my house, due to the *very real* threat of cluster warheads and missile barrages aimed at me and mine.

The days have started to bleed into one another in a way I’ve never experienced, creating a total lack of direction and creativity that feels completely foreign to me. It's like the part of my brain that handles the visual language of my life has just been replaced by a static-filled screen.

And it isn’t just the immediate danger that's causing this fog. (TBH many have been experiencing much worse.)

More than cluster warheads, it's the crushing weight of the abhorrently misguided international vitriol aimed at my little state and the equally miniscule global Jewish population that's breaking me. I just want to shout to the world that "what you THINK is going on and what is ACTUALLY going on are two VERY DIFFERENT things." (Because, *of course* that would instantly make The Whole World suddenly get it.)

I don’t know how long this conflict will last, when the Persians will finally be free again, or when my favorite country will finally be left in peace. But right now, I’m just trying to navigate the fog.

So if your own professional drive feels like it’s been sidelined by things far beyond your control, please know you aren’t alone. I myself have received the same support, and it has helped me - a little bit - to get through the days, without feeling like an absolute design fail.

Tomorrow night is Purim. Celebrating a(nother) thwarted Jewish genocide. One which was documented 2500 years ago and almost took place across *Iran* and the entire Persian empire. Your iron age textbook lesson is our family story that keeps repeating for us.

Tomorrow we'll celebrate, be with family, hopefully in costume, and run to shelters, praying for our and our loved ones' safety, as we eagerly await the end of the regime that is terrorizing the world.

Yes, this is our crazy life right now: joy and fear in the same breath. Persia then, Iran now.

And yet, in the middle of all of it, I keep showing up for my work, because building something meaningful doesn't wait for perfect conditions.

If your business is ready to rebrand and step into a clearer identity, my inbox is always open.

I know "story" and "storybrand" have been out there for a while.

But can I be honest for a sec? I. have. no. idea. what. that. means.

Are all businesses positioning themselves as Karen the Dragon Slayer? Is every business meant to have a sequential storyline that conveys how they uniquely save the user? My users come to me for X and I use Y superpower to create Z effect.

How does that give me ANY clues about what your brand should look like?

Instead, all I do is get in touch with YOUR clients' feelings. This weird thing happens when you simply look: many of them say *the same thing* about how they feel after working with you. They'll even use the same word. It's kinda meta.

My job is to then translate that feeling into a visual language that expresses it.

Voila.

No dragon slayers need apply.
