TechNott/WiT Lightning Talks is how I first got into speaking way back in ~2018, thus, returning to stage was a surreal, heartfelt experience 🥰

📸 is from the last time I was on stage at WiT many eons ago 🤣

I had a fab time speaking at Women in Tech, Notts! My talk “The Ripples from Pebbles” was written from the depths of my creative dreamer heart. I’m glad it resonated so much 🥹 The audience was engaging+supportive, esp with my croaky throat 💛

guess I’m feeling ready to speak at more events in 2025 👀

the tricky bit about this "simple" design was alignment + balance of the elements.

i'm back to feeling nervous excitement for tomorrow 🫡
IMHO building "community" is willingly stepping out of your comfort zone; staying loyal to planting seeds 🌿

so, this took me many tweaks and iterations but the original *inspo* behind it all was Donkey from everyone's favorite, Shrek 2 🫏

design blurs mediums 😁

this was 2-3 concepts merging into 1. so, candidly: not my best work, imo. 😅 however, the process reminded me of 2 key lessons: 1) consistency > perfection & 2) less is more

we keep going 🫡

with a dialogue as memorable as this one, the time from concept to execution is minuscule 🦇

the idea ("🌀 spirals!") was simple. the execution? dizzying balancing act 😵‍💫

p.s. still time to sign up. i'm v excited(+nervous?) to meet BB friends tomorrow. 🤞 let this be the first, memorable page in many chapters yet to come.

I found this book coincidentally as part of my quest to read more books in 2025 (& looking to use up my profesh development stipend…)

little did I know how PERFECT it’d be in run up to planning 1st @batchbunch.dev event 🥹
