Happy Valentine’s Day!!! ⠀
⠀
Made by me and my muses with hand-lettering by @katiewilliamsen. We sat together at fun kid-friendly local brewery, Jailbreak, last Saturday afternoon. It was the best valentine making party we’ve had yet...Thanks for visiting + making these small moments with us Katie!⠀

Happy Monday!! What’s motivating you today? #mondaymotivation⠀
⠀
Impact and creativity get me going on Monday mornings. Knowing that I can illustrate what’s in my collaborators’ brains so they can communicate clearly and effectively with their audience to get results and grow their business. ⠀
⠀
Like this North Star custom icon for @maggiegiele. Spending one hour with her on a video call was the North Star I needed to really get to know my business, my audience, and what I needed to work on to reach my goals in months, not years. .

Hi!!!! Share a fun fact with me today and, I’ll spill all mine 😎⠀
⠀
I’m illiah, designer/owner of C&V and founder of @elevate.cultivate, a community exclusively for graphic designers where I hope to impact the professional design community through retreats, resources, and programs to cultivate business skills, practice creativity, and elevate professional standards. ⠀
⠀
I’m obsessed with Archetypes and my favorite is #HowtoFascinate by Sally Hoggshead. I’m the editor-in-chief, and that means that I combine creativity, compassion, and an obsession with details to get results.⠀
⠀
C&V is named for my muses, Colette and Vivienne.⠀
My why has stayed the same since the very beginning - I want to live as an example for my muses as an empowered woman. ⠀
⠀
On my bucket list is treating myself to an international yoga retreat with @ArrowRetreats and @maggiegiele’s invite-only Tuscany Retreat. ⠀
⠀
Pictured with me is Hope, our Boston Terrier that chose us as her family even though we don’t feed her. She’s supposed to live next door with my parents, but she’s the most spoiled dog EVER with dual doggie doors. Everyday, she gets to decide for herself where to sleep the day away. ⠀

Have you listened to @maggiegiele’s latest podcast episode on #businessmagic? She talks about being stuck outside the referral cycle and selling with ease... it’s only 11 minutes!
⠀
Also, I ADORE my clients’ sketches. The transformation is so fun! Do you send your designer sketches for ideas? Why/why not?

It’s Friday!! What are you looking forward to today? ⠀
⠀
One of the best parts of owning a business is the ability to give myself permission to take off a day. We’re going to the @baltimoremuseumofart with V’s kindergarten class today, and I’m super excited to spend the day with them - while getting inspired and recharging my creativity for my clients. ⠀
