I don't post on Facebook very often these days, but I'm so proud of this amazing young woman, and honored to have created her new website -- from design to content. Join me in congratulating Rachel Parent and her organization Kids Right To Know Org. on the launch of their new website! 🎉🌿🌎😍

"The same hormone (cortisol) that made primitive man anxious and hyper aware of his surroundings is today compelling all of us to continually peek at our phones." Or more succinctly, technology is increasingly making us all more anxious. Fortunately a few pioneers are trying to reverse this. Take a moment to watch this brief but important video...

Why can't we stop looking at our smartphones? And are the designers of the apps and content on them using brain science to keep us hooked? Anderson Cooper reports.

I'm always preaching the "5 components of social media." A good photo is paramount, but even better is a "message graphic" that invites sharing. My list of websites that help you create "message graphics" (for free!) just got longer with this site:

What I love: designing fun graphics for a really sweet client who took the time to create a pet food like no other. And that's not just ;-)

If you've been reading pet food labels lately, you know how impossible it is to find a grain-free food that doesn't contain lots of peas, potatoes, lentils, or chickpeas for fillers. Unless of course you were reading our label... :-) http://www.grizzlypetproducts.com/grizzly-super-foods/

Creating custom graphics for social media platforms is something I strongly recommend, every time I teach my social media class. Websites like Canva and Pixlr make it easy for most business owners.

But we DO have options. Loved this perspective from the creator of one of my all time favorite documentaries, The Brain:

Web designers are getting better and better at manipulating how you perceive wait time online.
