This week we had to say a bittersweet goodbye and good luck to a recent addition to our team. Sweet potato-loving Mark is heading to Atlanta after the news that his wife, Laura was accepted into her dream grad school. Mark left us with a few reflections on the decision and his next steps:

Roses are red, violets are blue. We’ve had a lovely year thanks to you!
In the spirit of Valentines Day, we’re sharing a snapshot of the many things we loved in 2015 (you may remember our 2014, 2013 and 2012 year-end recaps…better late than never right?). Thanks for making our year one worth loving.

Without fail marathons make me cry. Really all it takes is for someone to cross the finish line holding hands and I’m a mess. (Don’t even get me started on watching a wheelchair marathoner finish.) After working on our sixth year of campaign creation for Novant Health Thunder Road Marathon, I think I’m finally beginning to see why.

Today we signed up for GUTS, an annual pumpkin carving competition that unifies our creative community in support of Make-A-Wish and the kids who fight the real fight everyday. This will make our third year bringing our 3-person team to the event. But I have a confession to make: I. Hate. Carving. Pumpkins. BUT, I’ll do it for the kids. And maybe the fact that it is just a fun event that creates some healthy competition among Charlotte’s most creative (did I mention that there is beer involved too?).

Hannah and I recently participated in AIGA Charlotte’s Beer & Branding design showcase. The event combines two creative fields: craft beer and design (need we say more?). In collaboration with Noda Brewing Company, AIGA designers were paired with local home brewing clubs to ideate, brew, and design a branding package based on a secret brewing ingredient – lemongrass.

As many of you probably already know, the Moonlighters gather for “family lunch” on Tuesday afternoons. We each have an assigned week where it’s our responsibility to prepare the day’s meal for the crew. Family lunch provides an opportunity for us to review projects, prepare for upcoming events and just talk. We talk about everything from our families to the weekend activities – we think it is important that we all connect outside of our project lists and deadlines and what better way to commune than over some good ol’ home cookin’? Not to mention we all love to cook. Can you tell our designer brains stay turned on with our plate presentations?

To me beginning a new project is kind of like the first time we brought home our dog, Moose (except then her name was Chanel and we were told she liked to wear sweaters…that’s still up for debate). We had a grasp on the basics but as we looked at this bundle of potential energy we couldn’t help but feel simultaneously excited and terrified. Beginnings are like that, intimidating by the sheer fact of all the possibilities that could unfold. The creative process is no different. So how do you overcome the daunting task of starting? We’ve found the secrets to success maybe aren’t so secret.
