What’s Up Our Sleeve? Check Out Our Pocket!



We are excited to announce the launch of Designers’ Pocket, a website resource for the design community.  You say there are already a ton of those?  Perhaps, and we have thought through this pretty carefully and hope the content we bring you will be both informative and refreshing.  Where we think we are different is the fact that we are and will be looking at the designer’s needs holistically.   If you have a creative block, we hope the imagery and right-brain articles will help inspire you to push through to the next step.   And if you need help with a budget, creating an invoice, or writing a contract, our left-brain articles are sure to help round out your creative skills with some solid business acumen (check out the Six DOs and DON'Ts of Asking for a Raise).

Every few weeks we will feature a member of the design community.  They could be just getting started, a veteran in the industry, or an entrepreneur that has one (or both) feet in design (check out the story of Tada Creative Studios).  We also have an ever expanding list of resources to supplement both halves of your brain.


Designers’ Pocket was created by three members of the Design Community that each brings their unique talents and experiences.  Nicole Faccinto is a world travelling Designer, drawing inspiration from her voyages, capturing both the practical applications of design in other countries as well as the beauty of those cultures (right-brain), Faith Bartrug is an accomplished Designer, Visual Merchandiser and entrepreneur (combo-brain), and Douglas Smith is a 20+ year veteran of the design industry that finds creativity in spreadsheets (left-brain). The three personalities together combine to be a great resource on all design topics.  We hope you will visit often, engage in the conversation and let us know what you think.  We know this site will only improve with your comments and suggestions on topics. 

So what’s in your pocket?  Visit often and we will provide you "Professional Tools for your Pocket!"
