SHOE CHALLENGE # 5:

shoe: by Blue Crush
where: a day-date with my boyfriend around toronto and to see a documentary film, "Blood in my Mobile".

I actually can't remember where I pick up these comfy boots... I think I purchased them from the local Giant Tiger for an deal I just couldn't pass up. I've had them for a few years now and they still serve me well.

SHOE CHALLENGE # 2:

shoe: red peeptoes by GEORGE

These shoes were such a steel. I also bought them in a solid black. They matched the colour of the skirt I wore.
SHOE CHALLENGE # 3:

shoe: black flats by American Eagle
where: worn to the Sheridan College Grad Show for Web Design.

date: April. 28th. 2011

Two words: BACK UPS.
It is always good to have a pair of flats on you. Especially on the nights you know those heels are going to brutalize your poor little toes! I also brought these babies as back ups to the Niagara College grad show where I completed shoe challenge #1 (previous blog post).

SHOE CHALLENGE # 1:

shoe: "DAWN" by p!xy shoes
where: worn to the Niagara College Grad Show/3rd Year Reunion.

date: April. 20th. 2011

I absolutely love these shoes so there was no question about "saving" them. It just came at perfect timing with the event and the dress I decided to wear. The perfect outfit combination. These beauties are hand designed as well! I got them on sale for half price and they remain in my top favourite shoe choices.

ITINERARY
1 then, now, future?
2 why the consumer is king!
3 a discussion
4 hilary finds a job


1. THEN - we shout it at you. (tell you want you want)
    NOW - we listen. (imagine-plan-create-improve-ask)   (put ourselves in your                atmosphere; consumer shoes)
    FUTURE - we read minds! :)   (build loyalty) 

2. but seriously, we start by.... ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS... what are the right questions? (Design thinking for Digital) - what do you need? what do you want?

-consumer relationship is key.

3. Now let's try to solve a problem together....
Introducing the iWidget!.

- leak it; buzz creation.
- fit into the consumers life.

4. Hil.
- interrogate, not be interrogated.
- find a passion outside of the workforce/schoolife
- be true to yourself
- what can you bring to the company? what makes you stand out?
- ask all the right questions
- it's personality, they already know your qualifications
- creating a repore is key with your interview
- 1st interview; testing ground - 2nd interview; diving deeper
- if you're the right fit, you're the right fit
- it's how you think, not always what you can do
- you need to be a strategy thinker
- sure you design pretty things, lots of people can do that. Is there thinking behind it?
- don't plan, it won't go that way
