2017 Hustle + Highlights
Let’s reflect on the year 2017, all the hustle and highlights!
I really do hope everyone had a great 2017! With another year behind us, it’s important to reflect on all the highlights and the hustle that made us stronger. This year for me was actually mostly about relaxing and doing more creative stuff that I love without necessarily having a purpose to it. Funnily, I only started really listening to myself and following through on these goals half way through the year, as I was preoccupied by my design job and other goals that weren’t as aligned to my core objectives
So below is my wrap up of Dear Diary Design’s 2017 Hustle & Highlights….

The Hustle
SOLD DEAR DIARY PRODUCTS AT OVER 20 CRAFT MARKETS
FLEW TO CHINA TWICE TO SOURCE NEW PRODUCTS
VISITED THE 122ND CANTON FAIR IN GUANGZHOU, CHINA
RE-LAUNCHED THE DEAR DIARY DESIGN BLOG & BRAND
DESIGNS FEATURED ON FRONT COVER OF AUSTRALIAN RETAILER CATALOGUES
DESIGNED PROFESSIONALLY FOR OVER TEN PRODUCT CATEGORIES
RE-DECORATED MY HOME STUDIO

The Highlights
GETTING ENGAGED ON THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN!!
STARTING TO DRAW, BLOG & PAINT FOR FUN AGAIN
FIRST TIME TO CANTON FAIR, LEARNING MORE ABOUT PRODUCT DESIGN
HAVING MY BED LINEN DESIGN FEATURED ON THE FRONT PAGE
RELAXING ON A 24-HOUR YOGA RETREAT WITH MY BESTIE
VISITING THE HOKUSAI EXHIBITION AT NGV AUSTRALIA
ATTENDING LIFE INSTYLE MELBOURNE & INTERVIEWING TALENTED DESIGNERS

So now that 2017 is documented here as my reminder, Let’s get stuck into 2018 and see if we can top those highlights!… and I have a feeling, this is going to the best year yet! Bring on 2018!.
May your everyday this year be filled with Creativity + Adventure….
