music saves.



Mickey Burton is the creator of these clever little things. I like his design style, because most of the time it makes me smile. While studying Graphic Design, my lecturer used to say: “Clever design makes you smile, then you know it works.”

good ideas salon.

PSFK runs Good Ideas Salons to bring together forward-thinkers to share ideas that make things better, whether it’s better work, better play, or a better world. Another reason why I belong in New York.

Are You Indispensable?

On the morning of February 4, PSFK will host a Good Ideas Salon at Soho House with special guest Seth Godin. Good Ideas Salons are designed to bring likeminds together to share ideas and positivity around certain subjects.

For this intimate event, Seth will present ideas from his latest book Linchpin, and will openly discuss with the audience their experiences as linchpins at work. PSFK will also orchestrate some (opt-in) match making where attendees will have the opportunity to meet peers who can share knowledge with them and in turn become indispensable at work.

Who Should Attend?

Linchpins invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos. They figure out what to do when there’s no rule book. They make their customers and peers happy. They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn it into a kind of art.

Inspiration to make things better.

Seeing that I could not attend – sadface – I had to follow it on Twitter and here are a few quotes:

“It’s not art if it doesn’t change people!” – Seth Godin
“They should dock your pay for going to meetings.” – Seth Godin
“Teach kids to solve interesting problems and lead. Don’t just teach them to become good note takers.” – Seth Godin
Seth Godin’s signature says: “Go, make something happen!”

distractivity.


“Distractivity is what you’re doing when you get distracted from what you should be doing. It’s generally what you want to do, often what you need to do, and arguably, what you’ll do best.” – John Goodman from Distractivity

Turquoise and coral. Those two colors make me happy for some reason. The photo has nothing to do with the post and I probably just posted it because of the colors. Love.

the hansen family desk.


Oh-em-gee. Give-to-me.

If Narry had a desk, what would it look like? Last year, I discovered the oh-so-amazing Rewrite desk. Even though I still adore it, the Hansen Family Desk will be great for those happy, sunny days.

daria werbowy.


If I had to be a model scout, I would take one look at Daria and say “Girrrl, watch out”.

She’s got it. Yes, that “it” they always talk about.
