Work Muse is a “flexible work consulting firm specializing in driving adoption of job sharing in business while helping individuals find work-life balance.”  I’d never heard of job sharing before but quickly saw its value.  Typically two people share one job, each working three days a week, one overlapping with their partner.  They share and divide work based on their strengths, brainstorm for solution-driven results and become basically, a super worker.  Studies show that they actually do the work of three people, a win-win for employers and for workers that appreciate the extra time for family or other priorities.   The logo needed to communicate that balance.  The W and M here mimic workers that literally have each others back.  The honeycomb shape hearkens to what the power of teamwork can build.  The sunny yellow and looped logomark references ideas and brilliance, like the filaments in a light bulb.  The pattern created can be used on job sharing teaching materials in the workshops led by brilliant Ladyboss Work Muse founder, Melissa Nicholson.

Not much to say here that hasn’t already been said elsewhere, but this is a truly beautiful day.  I had a meeting this morning with a new client, and didn’t hear the good news until hours later.  As I scrolled through my various news and social media feeds, I couldn’t help feel overcome by all the joy being expressed.  I cried.  I cried at Taco Deli.

Today my short film, The Quiet Girl’s Guide to Violence, became the very first narrative short to premiere on Steam.  Steam is a platform and marketplace for games, so this is something rather special indeed.  I have to thank our distributor, Devolver Digital, for this partnership.  If you’d like to see the film, I think it costs less than a dollar to buy it through June 22nd.  It is not for kids.  Or for the easily offended.  I have a bit of a dark sense of humor, and actually, you may be frightened of me after watching.

I am more proud of this movie than anything else I’ve ever done.  It was a foray into the unknown, and I didn’t know if it would be a success.  I also met my now husband while working on it.  To know that it continues to be seen by new audiences brings me tremendous joy.   Check out the website (which I designed, of course) to see the trailer and merch.   If you want an XXL shirt, I will give you one.
