Over the last month I’ve done a few interviews and been featured in a book! Here’s a quick recap:


1. WORK FOR MONEY, DESIGN FOR LOVE BY DAVID AIREY

When designer and author David Airey asked me to contribute to his latest book, Work For Money, Design for Love, I was both honored and humbled. Author of the popular design blog Logo Design Love, David is one of the most respected bloggers in the design community, hands-down.

My contribution is on page 263. If you’re full of burning questions on how to make your design business work and looking for insights on how many of the pros do it, this book is for you. Some of the topics covered include: How do I find new clients? How much should I charge for my design work? When should I say no to a client? How do I handle difficult clients?

2. SPACES BY EVA BLACK

I met designer Eva Black over the summer at Design Life and admire her use of textures and the fine art feel throughout many of her projects. Eva interviewed me for Spaces, a column that gives us a peek inside the workspaces of creatives. Check out some exclusive photos of my office and the accompanying interview!


3. DESIGN JOURNEY BY JOANNA WATERFALL

I also met designer Joanna Waterfall this summer and love her sunny attitude and can’t get enough of this project she just did for Block Shop. Joanna interviewed me for an ongoing series, Design Journey where creatives talk about how they got into design and share some of their favorite projects along the way. If you’re interested in how I got my start in design, check it out here!


Thanks David, Eva and Joanna!

      Lola in New York City: Aww, I hope there’s lots of good things coming up for both of us. I still owe you an email — hope NY is treating you ok…I heard there’s been freezing rain. Hoping we can finally hang out next time I’m in town.

    PS, this is an amazing quote!

    “I was putting fresh content up on Nubbytwiglet.com five days a week, even if that meant getting up at 6 am. I never took a day off from working on design or blog content and I was fearless about putting my work out there, even if it makes me cringe now! ”

    This is something I feel will stick with me… I need to start getting up at 6am to get some good content going! Thanks for always inspiring me to be awesome!

      Ashley: I’ve also always been a total morning person so getting up that early never felt forced…I forgot to mention that! But in general, it seems like we get our best work done rally early or really late when there’s less interruptions.

      Alicia: I finally had time to dig into the rest of the book during the last two weeks of traveling and it’s GOOD. A really insightful, easy read full of practical advice!
