The Art of Noticing

That’s my chapter as a co-author of Luminaries: Women Leaders Who Light the Way (Sulit Press). It’s the heart of how I work: seeing what others miss. It’s how I worked long before AI, and how I still work now.

Kind words

The first step in Cindy’s process is invaluable. She took the time to really know me and what was behind my brand before jumping into development. Afterward, she sent a phenomenal summary with her exact recommendations and next steps. Such an easy yes. I’ve never had anyone do that before.

I have worked with many designers over the years. No one has your ability to understand what the client is trying to achieve with their visual brand. It is a powerful and unique gift! You are f*ing awesome at what you do.

I loved working with Cindy. She’s clever, thorough, and massively helpful. I would hire her again and again.

My AI
statement

  • I am not afraid of AI.
  • AI can generate graphics.
  • AI can generate words.
  • AI can generate content.

What it cannot generate is perspective.

It cannot represent what you are trying to create.

It cannot know you.
