Let’s connect.

We live in an amazing, interconnected world, and it’s never been easier to find ideas that can spark creativity. If you’re like us, your appetite for knowledge is insatiable. Even so, it’s still easy to fall into ruts, returning to the same familiar sources that have worked before, thinking they’ll work again. That’s when creative blocks often pop up.

It’s time to break from the familiar. Let’s journey down fresh paths together. We’ll look beyond our borders and tap into fascinating resources around the world.

Part of our methodology is based on The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron. Here are some of our favorite techiques to keep our creative wells full and vibrant:

• we encourage all clients and colleagues to write morning pages every day to clear out the cobwebs and clutter that can clog our thinking.

• we promote weekly artist dates: two-hour personal adventures that push us to break out of our routines.

• we experiment with brainstorming techniques, and tools like Mindmapping, to spark fresh thinking and organize the flow of ideas.

• we host community forums where we post the latest bits of inspiration, thinking, and controversy, sharing the cool stuff we each find along the way.

When you’re inspired, you’re more inspiring.

Let’s get started.

What does the world look like through your eyes? And how does the world see you?

We want to establish a shared vision of what we’re creating. Let’s agree on a plan and see it through.

In order to develop an effective strategy, we need to understand not only the stuff that’s out in the open but also those quirky tidbits that are hiding in the shadows

If we can shine a light on those hidden truths that set your brand apart, we’ll have some powerful magic to grow rich and engaging stories.

Let’s go exploring.

A few years ago, we started holding weekly salons for people like us, facing the same dilemma: we each had some kind of side project but just couldn’t find enough time for it. Our idea? Use the peer pressure of a weekly gathering to motivate us to get moving.

Not only did we all start making progress each week, but we also witnessed something remarkable: a spontaneous cross-pollination of ideas.

The nights would buzz with fresh perspectives from totally unexpected places: the DJ was helping the baker; the photographer had tips for the writer. Everyone contributed and everyone got back even more.

We approach our work in the same way. On Motherhaus project teams, everyone has a voice. Whether they’re the writers or designers, the project managers, client liaisons, or developers, it’s important to honor the experience and insight of all the players throughout the process. You never know who’ll have a little spark of brilliance.

When you accept that creativity is universal, your work can reflect your subtle, intuitive side that makes your good ideas great.

Want to think in big-picture, prescient terms? Comprehensive design is the key. Regardless of the size or scope, we always evaluate projects holistically:

• how do the elements relate to each other?

• is the branding consistent?

• does the voice and personality carry through?

• does it feel right at every touch point?

• does it all make sense?

Even the smallest part of a project could be an important character in your story. Let’s make sure it plays well with the others.

We also look down the road as far as possible, anticipating future needs and planning for what might happen next.

A little prescience goes a long way, and makes your new path so much easier to travel.
