I was hoping to write this post about a week ago. Between getting ready to travel to the other side of the world and working on client stuff, it just didn’t happen. On the way back from Malaysia I spent a few days in San Francisco. The last time I was there was ten years ago. Though I had never really gotten the feel of the city back then, I sure did this time. I was able to meet up with some clients, new and old, which is always refreshing after so many emails over the months. I’m excited for what I’m going to be working on in 2015. Things like new connections with marketing folks, more of the things I want to work on and less of those I dislike. I’m expected to be back in Boston next September. Right now I’m continuously working to improve the foundation of my business and am planning to stay a full-time freelancer. Next week I’ll have a short post on what’s in my pipeline outside of client work. Until then, here’s a partial list of my posts from 2014: ### **Branding** - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/12/branding-control-or-adapt/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/12/branding-control-or-adapt/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/11/what-is-branding/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/11/what-is-branding/) ### **Customer Service** - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/12/7-steps-for-excellent-customer-service/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/12/7-steps-for-excellent-customer-service/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/10/10-guidelines-for-fellow-designers/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/10/10-guidelines-for-fellow-designers/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/10/10-guidelines-for-the-ideal-client/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/10/10-guidelines-for-the-ideal-client/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/09/thoughts-on-customer-service/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/09/thoughts-on-customer-service/) ### **Art in General** - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/10/design-and-me/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/10/design-and-me/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/10/design-and-me/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/10/design-and-me/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/06/the-dinosaurs-of-singapore/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/06/the-dinosaurs-of-singapore/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/05/the-art-that-defined-star-wars/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/05/the-art-that-defined-star-wars/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/01/street-art-exhibit-in-penang/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/01/street-art-exhibit-in-penang/) ### **Photography** - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/11/siem-reap/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/11/siem-reap/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/09/venice/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/09/venice/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/09/munich/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/09/munich/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/07/paris/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/07/paris/) ### **Project Management** - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/12/5-most-common-oversights-in-web-design/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/12/5-most-common-oversights-in-web-design/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/10/productivity/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/10/productivity/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/09/dont-break-up-with-wordpress/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/09/dont-break-up-with-wordpress/) ### **Writing** - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/11/stepping-out-of-your-comfort-zone-with-nanowrimo/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/11/stepping-out-of-your-comfort-zone-with-nanowrimo/) - [http://ashleyidesign.com/2014/06/everydays-blogs/](https://ashleyidesign.com/2014/06/everydays-blogs/) ## **What question do you have that I can answer in 2015?** --- I help businesses and marketers build marketing and sales systems that drive leads and scale with ease.
