I’m headed to Tampa Bay, Florida for the Front End Design Conference this Friday. 

If you’d like to grab a last minute ticket before Friday, be sure to do so before they are all gone! You can hear these awesome ladies speak about various front end design topics- Larissa MeekJina BoltonMeagan FisherLea AlcantaraNiki BrownSarah Parmenter and myself.

There will be plenty of time to meet everyone so make sure you come introduce yourselves! 

My session is called “Fuel Your Brand” - A Kick ass look at building a brand, from the ground up.

Lisa is an amazing artist. You’d think from this post that I know her, but I don’t. One simple retweet where I complimented her work is about all I know of her. I received a thank you email a few minutes later, which in turn led to some awesome work that she hand crafted and sent to me in the mail. 

All I can say to her is a huge thank you and if you need an artist-do check her out.

If you want to get your work & name out there, I’d suggest taking a page from her book and reaching out personally to people-it works. Very classy. A handwritten note is also a great touch.

Last weekend I did a very large purge of my twitter stream. I went from following 4,000 to 0 in about 5 minutes using this handy little tool.

I’ve slowly started re-following people, up to about 750 now. It’ll take time to check everyone out, because believe it or not, I check their stream and usually their website too before I decide to follow or not.

Anyways….the reason for this little post was that I was asked by two fantastic ladies via twitter @madysondesigns & @fontburger a to compile my ‘Must Follow’ - only 5 people.

So here is my list! Who & What they are doing + Why they are my top 5.
