Inspired by a collection of keepsakes gathered over the years—including jewelry from my mother and a tiny miniature jet. Jet & Jewels mixed packs feature original artwork that began as a fast drawing exercise and evolved into patterns celebrating memory, color, and connection. They are now available for purchase on Design Limit 25's website. Visit designlimits25.com. ✈✨

"Aware, Play, Create" is my LinkedIn enewsletter brand. If you're curious about how ‘Aware, Play, Create’ can apply to marketing, play around with AI and see if you can come up with ideas for strategic marketing. You can use AI to identify companies you want to work with that are in your niche.

Once you’ve accomplished determining who your niche is, be cognizant and aware of opportunities. When it comes to researching companies and roles, exercise creativity and think like a detective. You can start be researching who the Design Team Lead might be and draft an email, or send a LinkedIn message offering outside support!

I’ve put into practice these ‘Aware, Play, Create” principles with my marketing. I used the Marketing Mentor, Ilise Benun’s tips, to offer outside support to marketing departments.

… Or you can contact someone else in the company other than the Design Team Lead — perhaps an Email Marketing Team Lead, so you don’t exhaust your contacts. Employ AI to find these leads or use LinkedIn to filter roles in whatever department relates to your business.

Freelance is Daily, and although marketing freelance should be daily… sometimes it’s not. That’s just the way it is.

It’s not a big deal, with awareness, you can cultivate allowing which can result in patience.

I posted this prompt into Chat GPT: Based on what you know about me here's a description of my career “mid‑career creative director and brand/web designer, based on my reference photo.” Keep my bob haircut length and part, with natural reddish brown hair and a few silver strands. Give me expressive eyes behind simple glasses, a relaxed, confident half‑smile, and a thoughtful expression. Use clean hand‑drawn line art and soft, muted colors. Dress me in a casual‑professional top in a rich warm tone, suitable for a designer who enjoys digital illustration, photography art direction, and painting. Place a few faint doodle‑style icons—a pen tablet, camera, paintbrush, and simple webpage layout—around my shoulders to reflect my creative career.

Here's what I got!
