Reader, Your profile photo might be an old version of you. I've been thinking about how often women step into a new chapter of their lives, but the way they see themselves, and the way they show up, hasn't quite caught up. They're still carrying an image of an older version of who they were, even though there is so much more to who they are now. I get it. Work, motherhood, caregiving, life and everything else in between. Recently, I led a conversation with women around identity shifts and visibility.

Sometimes I would stop strangers to make portraits.Sometimes I’d end up in conversations in cabs or restaurants where strangers would share from the heart. I didn’t think of it as a method or framework.I loved the connection and being able to make people feel seen. Years later, I realized I use those same skills in my brand work. Your job...
Dear Reader, I woke up pretty early this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. So I thought I’d edit a few photos. Somehow, I ended up rewriting an entire page of my website. That was not the plan. But once I started I realized the old page wasn’t showing enough of my recent work. People often come to me thinking they need one thing. It might be a LinkedIn photo or a personal portrait. But rarely do we create just one type of image. We usually create a mix of personal and professional...
DearReader, My son finally got a job. And I don't think I realized how much I was holding my breath for him until he did. Rowan graduated from UCSB a year and a half ago with a degree in data science. This is also a generation that went to college during COVID, when very little about college life was normal. Then they graduated into another shift. AI had taken off and the job market was changing.And a degree in a field that had seemed full of opportunity didn't necessarily mean finding a job...
