Today I’d like to share a financial tool that helped Angel and I save $20,000 in about a year and a half.

I don't chase balance; I aim for alignment with seasons and rhythms. Balance feels unrealistic—it suggests an even grip on everything, which isn't sustainable. Life's full of variables beyond my control.

Sometime in the last few weeks, I got the idea to name this newsletter after a concept I’ve been developing for years. Not sure why I didn’t think of it sooner; it was probably meant to be this way.

Dreaming big for myself, however, turned out to be a lot harder. I realized that when you’re doing things for yourself, the safety net goes away. Insecurity creeps in.

Today, I'd like to share reflections on my graphic design journey. It turned out a bit lengthy, so I'll be splitting it into two parts. Stay tuned for part two!

Hey everyone! 🌟 Happy Thanksgiving week. Keeping it short and sharing a few updates.

Today, I'm traveling to Adobe Max. Angel and I have been invited by Chris Do to exhibit God is a Designer® at his booth. We're thrilled and incredibly grateful for this opportunity. If you're attending, you can find us at Booth B230. Follow along @godisadesigner.co.

Today, I'd like to share a few quotes from some of my favorite reads:

I wanted to take a moment to share some reflections with you from VOUSCon, an annual conference hosted by my church. Serving at VOUSCon has been an incredible experience. Core memories! Yet it has also reminded me of the importance of prioritizing well-being amidst demanding commitments. Especially now as a parent.

As a Creative Director, one of the most significant responsibilities we have is taking care of the people we work with. This aspect of the role brings immense opportunities for growth and development, both personally and professionally.

I’m Karielys (most know me as “Kary”). I was born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico in 1990. When I was seven my parents moved to Miami, Florida where I’ve lived ever since. I’m married to Angel Acevedo, also a graphic designer. We have a son, Aevin, who was born in December 2022.
