Well, the title of the post says it all. Right? A branding workshop with the A MAZE ING Anna Liesemeyer of In Honor of Design and one of my blogger idols Mandy Kellog Rye of Waiting for Martha
I follow these geniuses on Instagram and saw Anna’s post about an upcoming workshop in Chitown. After I read the description and saw who would be there I knew I had to attend and man I am glad I did. Now, I am not going to give away any secrets, cause you have to go to the workshop and check it out, but here are a couple shots of such a great day.
Four of our great speakers, Mandy Kellog Rye, Matthew Hoffman, Anna Liesemeyer, and Jess Keys
The setting was perfectionally (is that a word) staged, with a mix of modern, vintage and femininity.
Yup, that’s me taking a crazy load of notes. About 25 plus pages of notes!
Matthew Hoffman is not only a Chicago based artist and designer but the quiet genius behind You Are Beautiful He not only shared his personal story but ideas to help us all grow our brands organically. I basically turned his entire speech into a book of quotes so “Let’s Henry Ford it.”
AHHH, MANDY!! If I ever had a girl crush. Just sayin’. Well, I think my face says it all in the background.
Listening to Mandy share her story, share her tips, share her ideas was priceless. She was crazy enthusiastic, funny, spirited, and wise. I learned so much about my own business and blog because of Mandy. It is women like her, that are here to help other women, that make the blogging/design world a better place.
YUP! Here I am jotting down notes while learning from someone I have followed for years on Waiting for Martha.
So The Brand Market. A day that rejuvenated my love for business, brand, and blog. A community of entrepreneurs willing to share their tips and what they have learned through the years. A workshop you must attend when they come to you!
