If you're struggling to stand out—or wondering why your marketing feels scattered—you might not have a marketing problem at all.

You might have a positioning problem.

Before you build your website, post on Instagram, or even design your logo, you need to know exactly where you want to stand in the market—and who you want standing there with you.

Design is powerful. But without the right words, even your best work can go unseen.

After two decades in the global design industry, I’ve seen how deeply our spaces shape us—and how often designers struggle to articulate the value of what they do.

That’s why I’ve partnered with the Designer Society of America to offer something more than just advice—a monthly column with one powerful idea at a time. Designed to sharpen your message and elevate your voice. Thoughtful. Actionable. Rooted in real design practice.

Because the right marketing message doesn’t just describe what you do—it defines what you’re here to change.

Your work already speaks volumes. Let’s make sure your message does too.
