15 for 2015

So, in case ya'll haven't noticed, it's the new year...and I don't feel any different. Thanks Death Cab for Cutie, you're great.

 

Anyway, I surely didn't experience some sudden epiphany where I decided to make this my best year ever or create a new me in the new year. I did, however, get that customary boost of motivation to start what will hopefully be another incredible year.

In observance of any goal-setter's favorite holiday, I opted out of a single, specific resolution and instead decided to make a list of fifteen "goals" for 2015 - revolutionary I know. Some of them are professionally-oriented, some are personal goals, and some are just for fun! Regardless, I'm looking forward to working toward each of these and can't wait to see what I'm able to accomplish!

1// Register for and/or take the LEED Green Associate and AP ID+C exams.

2// Visit Toronto, Canada.

3// Start using my bike for daily transportation.

4// Spend more time on creative endeavors - paint more often, fill more sketchbooks.

5// Save enough to cover a month's worth of expenses.

6// Learn how to render scenes in 3DS Max.

7// Attend NeoCon in Chicago, IL in the spring.

8// Start a potted veggie garden.

9// Make my physical and mental health a regular part of my daily routine.

10// Read more design history and theory books.

11// Watch as many films on AFI's 100 Years, 100 Movies list as possible.

12// Sing at a karaoke bar.

13// Cross off at least five items from my ROC bucket list (...coming soon!)

14// Get a small, part-time job - preferably at a coffee shop.

15// (Re-)Teach myself how to speak, read, and write Spanish.

Cheers to 2015!

A Danielle by Design Year in Review: 2013

Forgive me for sounding repetitive,
but did this year fly or what?!

Let's take a look back at 2013.



JANUARY


FEBRUARY


MARCH


APRIL


MAY


NOVEMBER


You may have noticed a lack in representation for many months of the year...oops. I'm a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad blogger. Anyway, 2013 can easily be called the most exciting, most challenging, and certainly most rewarding year of my life. And honestly, I'm sad to see it go. 

For the first time, I'm starting a new year with no idea where I might end up or what I'll be doing next year. It's one of the most terrifying yet exciting things I can think of and I'm ready for whatever comes my way. Goodbye 2013, it's been great.

& Hello 2014.


Cheers!
