Special Thanks
Nov 24th
Just want to extend a special thanks to all my new Twitter followers. It’s gratifying to see that what I’m doing is striking a cord of resonance with you and that you might find value in what I write or teach. I’ll continue to do my best to keep stepping up my game so that you think of me as a great resource or inspiring voice.
I hope you visit here often and will consider joining in some conversations with me as I work towards building a dynamic community that weaves it’s way in and out of the worlds of design, energy, and marketing. It’s a great time to be alive and the world becomes what we make it – let’s team up and do it right.
All the best,
Jeff
Who Am I?
Nov 21st
The last week has been a whirlwind for me. I’m beginning to implement ideas I’m learning online about social media and marketing and I’m amazed at the amount of response I’m getting on Twitter.
Before I really started experimenting I’d had an account there for maybe 6 months and had a whopping total of 140 or so followers. In three days of making valuable posts, engaging with others, retweeting cool stuff, and really paying attention, I’ve more than doubled that and right this minute stand at 320 – including Guy Kawasaki – which blows me away.
I got a call from a recruiter who found me on Monster and spent over an hour with him, going through his process. But what happened in that hour brought back memories of things I’ve done and loved. Of places I’ve been and felt completely at home. Of people I’ve had the privilege of working with and learning from.
So who am I? I’m a designer who loves creating things that mean something to people. I’m a writer who loves to give readers something to think about and a new way to look at life, love, and relationships. I’m a teacher who gets such a rush out of showing people a new way to do something that in some way makes things better for them. And I’m a dad who so, so, so loves his two boys and all the crazy, wonderful things they bring to life.
I don’t think I could live without being all those different Jeffs and doing all that, all the time. I’ve traveled and worked in many different countries and become a different person with each new encounter I’ve made around the world. I hope I can bring all that to you, in whatever way you want it because I’d like to be able to make a difference.
And finally, I hope that you’ll come back and see how all this continues to grow. I’ll be putting on my designer hat and creating videos that will teach design students and maybe even junior designers a technique for creating garment detail sheets for factories. I’m toying with the idea – based on a podcast I listened to lately – of creating audios, 1 chapter at a time, from a novel I wrote. And who knows what else I’ll come up with. I plan on having fun being who I am and sharing it with the world.
That’s who I am.
See ya around,
Jeff
