Lanwell Behavioral Health just left this review and it made my whole week 🩷
Something I changed about my process that made a real difference: moodboards before design.
I used to go straight into design and figure things out as I built. It usually worked out, but there was always some rework at the end because what I made didn't quite match what the client pictured.
Now I start with a mood board instead. Colors, type, references. Enough for the client to react to before we're deep into actual pages and layouts. By the time I start designing, we already agree on the direction.
Small change, big difference. Worth trying if you've never done it 🙇🏽♀️🤍

“Florencia was amazing! She brought my vision to life and made the process seamless. She was patient, attentive, and always delivered ahead of deadlines. I especially loved starting with mood boards to capture my brand’s aesthetic.”

I've been having a ton of fun playing around with MidJourney 8.2 preview + Seedance 2.0. Right now its unmatched imo. The ability quickly spin up moodboards and use/blend moodboards in MidJourney is what separates it from the rest.
Cool
🌿 Design Poll: Which hero makes a stronger first impression?
I explored two creative directions for the same gut health brand, each designed to communicate trust, wellness, and premium quality in a different way.
🧴 Option A puts the product front and center, highlighting the system and creating a clean, premium feel.
🌱 Option B leads with a lifestyle image, focusing on emotion, connection, and the transformation behind the product.
Both communicate the same message, but they create very different first impressions.
👇 Which one would you choose, and why?
💬 Is it the product-first approach or the human-first experience that wins your vote?
Poll Options:
🧴 Option A – Product First
🌱 Option B – Lifestyle First
