What are you grateful for?

The question is most often asked around Thanksgiving, when you sit around the table with those you love and exchange words of thanks to one another. But shouldn’t we ask every day, “what are you grateful for?” Even when we’re just asking ourselves, it adds more meaning to the mundane activities that fill our day-to-day […] ...

Empathy? For me? You shouldn’t have.

When I first read that this week’s assignment was on Empathy, I was confused. Unlike some weeks, I didn’t immediately see or feel the connection between the week’s topic and creativity.

Design, babe. Design.

When I hear the word “design” I think of pens and paper, markers and crayons, all coming together in a beautiful mess of artwork. But even with a minor in art, there’s not a lot that jumps into my mind when I hear the word “design” beyond art projects. If I think harder, I come […] ...

Play… an assignment

I’m in this new online course which is all about creativity and expressing yourself and using online resources to communicate those points. So far it’s been really interesting!
