Custom Stationery: Professional Pink in Marble and Cotton

Custom Stationery: Professional Pink in Marble and Cotton

I have shared before that I love receiving mail from my clients. The note I received yesterday was special for a number of reasons. First, I absolutely adored working with Ms. Blanding. Secondly, her favorite color is pink which I also unapologetically favor. Third, she wanted to use pink for her professional, social correspondence. How could I love this woman more? And finally, her words came to…

I Gave Up Social Media for a Month and My Life Didn't End

I Gave Up Social Media for a Month and My Life Didn’t End

When I first started Write Robinson, it was long before the days of Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or Pinterest or Snapchat or Periscope or any of the other myriad platforms in which that current conventional wisdom dictates I participate. In the beginning, my method of telling people about my work was through email or writing to them directly (imagine that, a stationery company actually…

Custom Stationery: Thank You Notes in Black Marble

Custom Stationery: Thank You Notes in Black Marble

Creating custom stationery is perhaps one of my favorite things to do. There is nothing like getting to know a client and designing a stationery package that exemplifies them while adhering to my style aesthetic. My client wanted a set of thank you notes that she could use for her business relationships. We knew that the color palette would center on black. The accent color options were gold,…

Thought of the day: Success is Personal I don't know a single person who doesn't want to be successful. Some of them measure that success in money.

Thought of the Day: My Dream Doesn’t Have to Be Our Dream We all have dreams. Some are small and some are huge but they are all our own.

Thought of Day: What If You Say Yes? The 4 year old and I were having more creation time when she asked me if she could use the huge tub of glue by herself.

Thought of the Day: Make Time for Creation Time Whenever my four year old niece does anything art related from simple crayola drawings to organized craft projects, she calls it creation time.

Thought of the Day: Figure It Out I grew up around people who didn't necessarily cater to children. I am in no way saying myself or my brother or my cousins weren't loved.

Thought of the Day: Support the Supporters Thanks to the memories feature on Facebook, I was reminded that on this day, in 2010, I posted, "I am comforted by the fact that there are more people in this world rooting for me to succeed than there are hoping I fail." Five years later, I know for a fact that statement is still true and I know for a fact that the number of supporters has grown.

Thought of the day: What You Repeat, You Believe As some of you know, I'm completely hooked on Periscope and you know that one of my favorite scopers is Stephen Lovegrove.

Thought of the Day: Be Well. Do Good. Repeat it and live it. Be well and do good every single day.

Thought of the Day: There is No Success Store We all define success differently. For some, the measurement is money, for others fame. Some people want influence and power.

Thought of the Day: Even the Best Go to Practice Around 1:30am I watched John Mayer live on Periscope practice playing the guitar. For the record, I know absolutely nothing about playing the guitar myself.

Thought of the Day: Light a Dark Corner All of us have dark corners, the places within ourselves that are scary to go. We create dark corners for any number of reasons, some tragic and some that are just sensitive.

Thought of the Day: Connect, Connect, Connect

Thought of the Day: Connect, Connect, Connect

I’ve been on a mental journey for the past few weeks. I’ve been reevaluating everything in the Write Robinson universe from, literally, why does this company need to exist to the constant evolution of my personal design style and how that translates into my work. Last week or so, I watched Cyndie Spiegel on Periscope talking about defining your mission. Since then, I have been obsessed with…

Thought of the Day: Receive the Love You Give About two weeks ago, I spoke on Periscope about not taking for granted that people know how you feel about them.
