Took a vacation from work last week- I did absolutely NONE of the things I planned to do. I did manage to party like a rockstar Halloween weekend. Last time I just hung out all night was before graduating. Life after college has been - not as chaotic, way less parties.
I literally ended up taking a vacation (ate, slept, chilled). I didn’t even turn my desktop on once. Checked emails through my phone here and there. Oh and played some mean Scrabble ( I seriously kick ass at that game - find me on Words With Friends @ itsShala)
I planned on redesigning a site, starting on a new shirt design, designing my new business cards, and narrowing down which company to print my custom shopping bags. Yea, none of that happened.
Now I actually feel refreshed though, and hungry to get back working on my new business venture this week. I plan to launch the name and the first sector of the new company this January.
As of last week, the old company has been put to bed. SX Innovations is no more. It was a great run. But on to bigger and better things. Complete new business model. Getting custom designed silk screen shirts from me will be near impossible going forward. It’s no longer in scope- finally taking that leap to produce for the masses. Long time coming-
Don’t worry, I’m still staying true to my passion. I’m not designing based on trends, or what’s hot. I’m setting out to create a Creative Movement.
So, woke up this morning, and an epiphany hit me…

I love #design so much, and nothing makes me happier than helping out someone else. I’m combining those two loves starting today. There are many people starting up their own #businesses after being laid off… Unable to find work… Just trying to make a dollar… Not much money in their pocket… Just trying to make it… I’ve been there, done that. $20 dollars to my name, no job, and a dream.

Starting right now every two weeks I will select one person to design either one of the following for:
