My biggest ( wildest ) dream is for us all to unleash our creativity. Imagine if the world was full of thriving artists, inventors, entrepreneurs, writers and creatives of every variety? You see, I believe it’s our stuck, jumbled up thoughts and emotions that hold us back, stopping the free flow of our creativity. The BluJoyWrks mission is to create tools with just enough fluid and intuitive structure to support the wonderful chaos of our lives and unleash our creativity. After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design in 1996 I followed many passions and careers- from textile designer, to fiber arts teacher and personal chef. The one thread that carried through it all was feeling the freedom to create within the parameters of a fluid structure. The Expand System was created to offer this similar intuitive structure for life’s chaos. It is a 13 week planner with a revolutionary folding design that allows you to see the whole week in one glance or fold it all up to view just one day at a time. The principle of “parking your thoughts” is at the core of the Expand System. By putting our thoughts down on paper, we free up brain space to pursue our dreams. I don’t honestly understand all the psychology of journaling and organizing in this way. But what I do know, deep to my core- it’s a super useful tool to unstick our thoughts and emotions, allowing creativity to flow freely.
