Spring is on it’s way here in DC, and maybe it’s all the more fitting that I’m also beginning a new chapter in life with a new job and this new blog.
Making just one change simply wasn’t enough. (And really, there was a third major change as well, which will be announced very soon. Kudos, babe.) But first, the new blog.

Thanks to the great refresh of an already solid design, I’m really pleased with the new site turned out. I’ve been enjoying simple, grid design as of late, and am happy to have a fresh new blog to coincide with the first week at my new job. I’ve never been one to really like the vast visual chaos that ensues from embedding badges and widgets on a blog, but hopefully the simple text of Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Delicious bring an efficient elegance to my blog’s usefulness. I hope you enjoy the refresh, but even as I’m still making a few tweaks here and there, please let me know what you think. Again, big thanks to Nick for his hard work, and JP for the killer referral.

While I’m stoked about the new blog design, I’m even more excited about joining Viget Labs as the Digital Media Strategist. This move comes after spending 2.5 excellent years with the CCCU. Leaving the Council was bittersweet, but in many ways, I think that’s how it should be - it means that the work and the relationships mattered. I moved to DC three years ago, not entirely sure where I would land. But the Council was the right job at just the right time, and I’ll be eternally grateful for the experience I had with the CCCU.

And now with Viget Labs, I’ll get to go deep in social media like never before. I’m joining a rockstar team that blends strategy, design, development and marketing into cooking up hot web business for clients. In addition to writing for Socialmediaworx, I’ll also regularly be working on the Viget marketing lab blog, Viget Engage.

It’s a wonderful feeling to walk into the office each morning and know you’re a part of something special. Here’s to making all things new.
