Over the last couple of weeks, I made what felt like a million decisions. Big and small. Most of them revolving around the new website. From choosing the perfect shade of green (or should I go with blue instead? 💙) to deciding on the right font that captures the essence of the brand, every detail mattered. Each decision was a step towards creating a space that truly reflects our vision and values. And while exhausting, the journey of selecting the right colors and fonts and the right words was a blend of art and science. I wanted colors that were warm yet professional, fonts that were sophisticated yet approachable. The right combination had to feel just right—like it was speaking to you, our community, directly. 🎨 Looking back, it’s incredible to see how these seemingly small decisions have come together to create something truly meaningful. This isn’t just a website; it’s a manifestation of our vision and values. Here is a little sneak peek into the different options that Becky Symes created for me. Which one would be your preferred option? #SelfLeadership #FemaleLeadership #WomensEmpowerment #NewWebsite

🎨 Colors for Brands! 🚀 Hey LinkedIn, let's talk about something that adds serious swag to a brand – COLORS! 🌈✨ Here's my take on the art of color combos for brands. 💻🎨 1. The #Psychology Behind Colors 🔴🔵🟡🟠 Colors evoke emotions. Red for passion, blue for trust – you get the vibe. Pick colors that resonate with your brand's personality. 🧠💙❤️ 2. Keep it Simple! 🤓 Don't go all Picasso with a zillion colors. Less is more. Think Google, think Apple – simple, sleek, iconic! 🎨🍎 3. Contrast is Your Best friend: ⚫⚪ Ever seen black text on a white background? Pure magic! Contrast ensures your message pops. Dark on light or light on dark 📸 4. Versatility Your colors need to be flexible. They should look fabulous on a website, Insta, or a billboard. Test those colours in different scenarios – versatility is a game-changer. 💪🌐 5. Check the Color Wheel Remember that rainbow circle thingy from school? Yep, the color wheel. Complementary colors (opposites) – they just work! 🥪🌈 6. Stay on Brand, Always Cannot emphasize Consistency enough! Your Insta, website, logo – they're squad members. Keep their colors in sync. 📆🌟 7. Think Long-Term Trends fade, but your brand is timeless. Think marathon, not sprint. Pick colors that age like fine wine. 🍷 Remember, colors are the silent storytellers of your brand. So, pick 'em like you're curating your Insta feed – with style, intention, and a dash of your unique vibe! 💁♂️🌟 Here's my take on marketing Tuesdays.

Happy Tuesday, esteemed network! I bet you're scrolling through your LinkedIn right now, nodding at insightful posts, sipping your latte, and wondering...why am I so fixated with that well-designed website? Let's break this down: • Usability - as simple as a stapler, yet as complex as a crossword. Think IKEA instructions, minus the leftover screws. • Aesthetics - it's not about meeting the catwalk standards. It's about color, space, typography all doing Tango together at the right time, in harmony. So, if you've ever been trapped in the labyrinth of a poorly designed website, you'll understand why this is the ultimate mood-killer. Happy websites are those with personality

How much is this logo worth? Let's talk about the Headspace identity. Designers are unlikely to propose such logos to their clients because they'll be perceived as lazy. Clients are unlikely to pay for such logos because they feel they could have created it themselves. Hence we rarely see logos like that. Logos that are simple, accurate, and powerful. It takes courage and trust from both the designer and the clients, but the outcome is usually worth it.

"You never get a second chance to make a first impression." 🚀 It’s a cliché for a reason, right? Because we’ve all judged a brand in an instant. But have you ever wondered why? It’s psychological. When someone sees your brand, they unconsciously think, “Do I trust this?” or “Is this for me?” And believe me, their brain makes that decision fast—like, blink-and-it’s-done fast. Colors play a huge role. Blue feels safe and reliable, which is why banks love it. Red grabs your attention, perfect for urgency. But it’s not just about colors. Fonts matter, too. Ever noticed how a serious, serif font feels... reliable, while a bold, modern font screams cutting-edge? I learned this firsthand on a rebranding project. The company had the right message but the wrong look. We made intentional design changes—colors that resonated with their values, fonts that aligned with their tone—and, boom, people connected. Engagement shot up, trust deepened, and suddenly the brand didn’t just look good; it felt good. But here’s the real kicker: It’s all about consistency. 🧩 If your brand feels cohesive across everything—socials, website, emails—you create familiarity, and that breeds trust. Think about your favorite brands. What made you trust them? The answer is probably more than just aesthetics; it’s the feeling they left you with. 🔥 So, let me ask: What feeling does your brand create in that first moment? I'd love to hear your thoughts! #BrandPsychology #FirstImpressions #BrandingTips #ConsumerBehavior #MarketingPsychology #MarketingStrategy #BusinessGrowth
