I can’t believe it’s been over a month since my last post! That is terrible. I also can’t believe that I never explained why I am no longer doing my regular Link Lineup posts. The reason is this – I got busy! The last month has been a good one for Signify as far as new business and new outlets for my creativity so I’ve been focusing on my projects and less time on my blogging. But I’d like to at least post once or twice in a month with either project updates, featured photography or Signifycant thoughts, with an occasional Link Lineup thrown in
the mix.

Speaking of Signifycant thoughts, here are my latest personal musings as they relate to life and business…

• Running from challenges doesn’t allow for growth.
• Giving up when frustrated is the road to failure.
• Proper communication is key.
• Great connections are invaluable.
• Getting involved and putting yourself out there is the easiest way become known.

I realize none of these are new concepts, but they are great reminders for me as both an entrepreneur and individual.

Anyway, I hope to have a post up by the end of the month with my latest projects, so until then…

Happy June!

Last week I took on a new role that is not exactly related to what Signify does tangibly, but is in the same family of creative communication. I became a local Golden travel writer for Examiner.com. This opens up a lot of fun creative for me, such as pursuing travel writing and photojournalism which are things I’ve had an interest in doing for several years now. So please feel free to subscribe to my articles if the content is of interest to you, and look for new ones each week!

In the meantime, I’m still trying to fit in the design of a new branch of Signify into my increasingly busy schedule – weddings! We’d like to have our photography featured on its own site, and we want to create a separate website to promote our wedding photography and custom correspondence for Denver-metro brides. The thought has always been to do this – have one website for business and one for weddings/lifestyle photography – but we wanted to wait a bit until we got more established.

So I’ve started the wireframes of the site but just haven’t yet gotten to the actual design. Probably because I keep adding on more side jobs like writing… But I’m trying to figure out whether or not to give it a totally different look, or keep some of the same elements of its parent brand.

Decisions, decisions.

Things have been a bit busy around here as far as new work, meetings with prospective clients and developing proposals as well as juggling a few part-time jobs I’ve taken on. And even though I’ve been really bad about updating the blog with recently completed projects (in fact, I have none on here), I’m going to change that right now with this post.

I’m pretty excited about finishing up a new web design project I’d been working on these last few weeks for my old co-worker and friend, Ryan Wynia, through his company, Firebone. Here are some screen shots of the project in progress, and soon it will be live!

I’m also currently working on a publication for another client and friend who followed us in our move to Colorado. I am SO grateful to have this support from people back in the Midwest, especially since it’s a job in and of itself to get plugged into a new community and develop new business relationships here in Golden. So thanks to everyone who stuck with us in this transition! And all this new work will soon be featured on our website, sgnfy.com.

So hopefully I’ll be better at putting new work up here in the future. But as the title says…that, too, is a work in progress.

Cheers,
Laura
