Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind, by Coauthor.studio
2024 proved what I've been saying for years: success as an independent professional isn't about doing everything alone—it's about being strategic about when and how to collaborate.This insight drove everything I did this year: launching Solo(ish) to support independent professionals, expanding FOAF (fraction-of-a-fractional) executive services, and starting my 22nd year teaching design at Benedictine University Mesa. Each initiative reinforced that the best results come from combining individual expertise with collaborative strength.Three posts that captured key learnings:
"DesignRush Recognition for Branding Excellence"
On being recognized among North America's best consulting firms while staying true to our focus on solopreneurs and founder-led businesses
"Client Feedback and the Smile File"
Why sharing positive feedback matters (even when it feels uncomfortable)—and how client testimonials reveal the power of deep listening
"Teaching Design's 22nd Year"
On watching design thinking principles spread beyond traditional creative fields into business, communications, and psychology
A practical insight that made a difference:
Structure creates freedom. My themed workdays (Marketing Monday through Finance Friday) proved that good systems don't constrain creativity—they enable it. Even AI tools work better when integrated into thoughtful workflows rather than treated as magic solutions.Looking ahead: Expanding Solo(ish) resources while continuing to show that independent doesn't mean isolated. Through fractional leadership, teaching, and strategic partnerships, we'll help more professionals find the right balance between independence and collaboration.To every independent professional building something meaningful: You're not alone. You're Solo(ish). Let's keep building brands that matter in 2025.
