Squashing the Spread

Touchable Design’s first giveaway was a decal featuring a logo I created last summer. The logo was a pro bono project for a group I helped launch to combat COVID-19 in our community. We recently found ourselves in need of thank-you gifts for people choosing to get a COVID vaccine at our pop-up clinics. I got the word out to my local clients, Cork’s Popcorn and Cox Farms Peanut Brittle who were happy to contribute their delicious products, but I wanted to offer a little something from Touchable Design, too. Now, the 40 people we vaccinated will have a lasting reminder of the good they have done for their neighbors in Bulloch County, Georgia.

Selfie credit goes to Shari Barr, local city councilwoman and effective COVID-19 combatant.

Modeling Professionalism

My friend and I used to watch “America’s Next Top Model,” a reality show starring Tyra Banks. It was an excuse to get together, and definitely not a way to gain useful knowledge for living in the real world.

Yet, I found myself identifying with Top Model contestants last week as I posed for Touchable Design head shots. I was trying to convey “I am a competent, trustworthy, fun professional who has a legit workspace in the United States.” But I was in an office that wasn’t set up yet after two of the most stressful weeks of my life. And we were in a rush due to my overscheduling.

Fortunately, I hired my former co-worker, Jeremy Wilburn, who is an exceptional artist and Photoshop magician. I haven’t seen the final product yet, but he already made me feel like a winner. Now if I can just win those contracts!

Just What I Needed

Just What I Needed

This week, I attended my first networking lunch as Touchable Design. As soon as the event was on my calendar, I decided I should have a way for people to identify me in a socially-distanced crowd. I came up with the idea of a tote bag and called my friend James Hall right away. If I brought him a bag, could he embroider my logo on it? Big? Tomorrow?

Yes, yes and yes! James is such a great guy. When I brought him the substrate, I asked him what he would charge me. I was expecting a substantial price tag, but he shook his head and said “nothing.” Like it was nothing. But it wasn’t nothing. It was huge. 

That act of kindness had a profound effect on me. As a small business owner himself, he knew what I was going through. The message of solidarity and support he sent in gifting me the embroidery services, more than the actual product, was just what I needed.
