A Creative Manifesto

Why design? What drives me to continue to create strategic solutions for clients? Given the idea that a manifesto is a "public declaration explaining past actions and announcing the motive for forthcoming ones" this is what I believe:

We are all creative.
Strong leadership doesn't have to be abrasive.
Design Divas waste all of our time.
Your input is valid.
Working fast ≠ working sloppy.
The person is more important than the task.
Boldness can be sophisticated.
There's nothing wrong with simple elegance.
Tickling children and wrestling dogs is time well spent.
Organization is beautiful.
Family dinners matter.
It's more important to be resilient than safe.
Everyone has a story.
Strong opinions streamline the process.
Mystery, silence and beauty are necessary.
White space has power.
Laughter, tears and good food enrich life.
Mood Boards matter.
Listening first never hurt anyone.

Testimonials
I was talking to a mutual connection today and I mentioned that I still loved the design that Christie helped bring to life for a company that I started. I know that I am an amateur customer in that area and could not have been the easiest client. Christie however communicated with a tremendous amount of clarity and I liked the decisions that she made on our behalf.

As a global marketing director, it is difficult to trust a designer to articulate your vision perfectly without very specific instruction. I trust Christie. She is able to take an idea and transform it into something better than imagined. She understands your business need, brand and end-goal quickly and is able to use her endless creativity to tell an impactful, visual story. She is professional, efficient and just fun to work with. I have let Christie work directly with many colleagues because I know she will deliver every single time. She makes my job easier and our brand shine.
