These last few months have chased me down, and I can hardly believe it is mid September! Before I had a chance to announce the D.C. workshop, it sold out! So I wanted to make sure and post more details about the Chicago workshop on October 11th! We had originally planned for August which was a little too tight of a deadline for all involved….

It will be held at the stunning Palm Court at Loyola University and co-hosted by the super savvy Mandy Kellogg Rye of Waiting on Martha and I. If you don’t already know Mandy, she is best described as an extremely talented jack of all trades who I am honored to call a friend. She focuses on “creating a beautiful everyday” through her successful online shop and blog.

The day will be split into segments on Marketing, Branding, Business Growth, Social Media, and more.
I really wanted to try something new and bring in extra doses of wisdom to this workshop. Cue the guest speakers!

Jess Keys –  Jess just recently traded her day job in corporate advertising to go after her dreams. She is the new Brand Manager for Dean Street Society, Fashion editor for The Everygirl, and lifestyle blogger at The Golden Girl blog. 

Matthew Hoffman – A Chicago based artist whose work is internationally known. His astounding work has been installed throughout the city. Just check out Hey, it’s Matthew. He is also the founder of the remarkable project You Are Beautiful which seeks to impact lives in big and small ways. Get to know Matthew in this video, and while you are at it, this Huffington Post article.

Ari Kryzyzek – Ari and her husband run their own design studio, Chykalophia! The vibrant vitality of her design garnered Ari the winner of the annual design award in 2010. Besides her experience in corporate branding for both print and web, Ari has her own paper line seen on Ruffled, Green Wedding Shoes, and more!

Quite a crew, huh?! I cannot wait to be in the Windy City and hope to meet some of you there!
