I'm almost back to normal following this year's amazing HOW Design Live in Chicago. It was 5 days of non stop networking and learning -- my 2 favorite things to do!

There were so many excellent speakers and sessions and ideas -- here are two of my favorites, in 140 characters (some with pictures)!

Terri Trespicio on "Out of Juice: How to Replenish Your Creativity Well." (Watch the video of Terri's talk on YouTube here.)

And Jason Fox, Chair of Graphic Design at SCAD, showing designers how to "show 'em something that matters" (a.k.a. How to show your process in your portfolio). (Watch the video of Jason's talk on YouTube here.)

Don't miss this experience next year -- save the dates: April 30-May 4, 2018 in Boston. Sign up here to hear first about early bird specials.
