An interesting turn of events...
I'm still doing design work for PDXWIT, but things have changed for the better.
How, you may ask... well.
I went to a lunch meeting where we discussed the needs of the non-profit and what the board of directors wanted to see moving forward. Arriving early and securing a table, I was prepared to discuss what I needed to move forward with what I need as far as color, fonts, photo usage and the like for the brand guide. My preparation wasn't needed however.
New Client! So exciting!
ANOTHER VOLUNTEER GIG!
Recently, I responded to a post in a FaceBook group I belong to. Within this post, there was a call to action and I immediately responded for multiple reasons (which I will illustrate later.) The call to action was to create a brand guide for PDX Women In Tech. They are a meetup group that gets together to network and talk about technology within the Portland area. It's a fantastic group of empowering women who's goal is to celebrate and encourage like minded individuals in multiple different fields. I have attended a few of their events and have always walked away with a great feeling of camaraderie and excitement for being a techy sort of person.
