"I think it is possible to be both CONTENT and AMBITIOUS!" – @tinaessmaker. One of the most impressive presentations we had today was from Tina Essmaker's SPARK session. Nice, eloquent and inspiring. Such an important message: You are better at your job / creative if you throw a wrench into the hussle to feed yourself and your soul. Invest in the things you neglect … #HOWLIVE ⚡ ⚡ ⚡ #creative #creative #kreativkonferenz #designer #design #inspiration #motivation #inspirationszitate #motivationszitate #designkonferenz

We had a great time with my new friends from #howdesignlive #howlive First #redsox game for each of us. Fenway is great! Unfortunate loss from a run and about a foot in the bottom of the 13th.

Day 1 at #HOWLIVE in the exhibition hall. @howbrand hosts creatives from around the world to converge and connect. At @how_events some of the latest software, techniques and providers are presented. It's an investment, but it's worth it for the knowledge, connections, inspiration and tools we can use to better serve you! #JPDesignsArt

It's been a few days since I came across @how_events with @raecardella and felt pumped up. 🙌🏼 Thank you #HOWlive for the goodies. But mostly to introduce myself to some new favorite creatives.✨
