A new year and a new Cuban Nerd

Happy 2019 Everyone!

Lilian here. This is officially my first email update.

2018 was a pretty intense year for me. I went through a big burned-out in the first few months. This made me realized two things. First, it was time to update and go beyond my design skills in order to become more efficient with work, and second I had to start working on my delayed personal projects. The rest of 2018 was dedicated to the first part alongside with personal development. 2019 will be dedicated to my personal projects.

This email update is just one of those personal projects. Now it’s time to take Cuban Nerd to the next level.

What is coming?

Cuban Nerd Rebranding
If you follow me on Instagram @cubannerd, you might have noticed that I have been toying with the idea of creating a new logo. The project is more than just revamping my identity but also how I am positioning myself as a creative consultant. More details on the rebranding project soon.

90&M Podcast
90&M is a project intended to document real stories from my time living in Cuba. I want to compare and contrast those to my experiences living in Miami. It’s a way to connect with Cuban Americans. Especially from my generation. I’m currently in the process of writing the 3rd episode. Stay tune for more updates about this podcast.

Design Machinations Journal
If you want to read some insights about projects I’m working on, my thoughts on design philosophy or anything related to the design process, product ideas or branding strategy then this blog is the right place.

Coming soon in January, Designing for Non-Hollywood Pirates.
