It's quite magical bringing your work to life. I love watching my designs emerge from the confines of the computer and transform into something that you can touch.

Authenticity

In the midst of a conversation with my mom about whether her twitter feed should publish to her personal facebook or professional facebook page, it became apparent to me – work-life separation has become pretty dang awkward these days.

Countless articles have been published that encourage people to carefully censor content within their social media world. They caution that current or potential employers might not be so fond of the contents, placing employment in jeopardy.

Frankly, those articles irritate me.

Let’s stop censoring ourselves and cease this fight to compartmentalize our lives. Let’s live up to our true identities, proclaiming them with confidence to the world. Let’s let employers hire complete people, not artificial, censored workforces. Let’s begin taking our complete selves to work each day.

Let’s encourage authenticity because at the end of the day, there’s little satisfaction in living an inauthentic life.
