Last week, I had the privilege of attending and speaking<\/a> at Circles Conference<\/a> — an event put on by Ismael Burciaga<\/a> and team where the creative community got to meet-up and listen to speakers in Grapevine, Texas<\/a>. Creative Market sponsored the ping pong<\/a> and foosball<\/a> tables, and brought some swag too<\/a>.
\nI gave a talk titled The Heart of Design: Peers, Perception, Purpose<\/a>. You can browse through slides from my talk<\/a> — in which I shared some of my personal design experiences and thoughts on how our team is building the platform.
\n\"inline-circles-speakerdeck\"<\/a>
\nIt was amazing to meet new friends and share the 2-day experience of being inspired together, as we all listened to personal stories from the other speakers. And although we all attended Circles to recharge our creativity, I couldn’t help but think that there is more that we can do with the creative ‘spark’ that was experienced.<\/p>\n

Inspired to Pay It Forward<\/h2>\n

\nIt’s been a desire of mine (and the Creative Market team) to explore how passive income can help designers give back. So, during my talk<\/a>, I committed 100% of my earnings from my shop sales<\/a><\/strong> during the month of October<\/strong> to All Hands Volunteers<\/a> — a disaster response organization which is providing relief in Colorado<\/a> to the victims of the recent flooding.
\nJoin Us!<\/strong> If you’re a shop owner on Creative Market, put the AHV badge (blue or white) on your shop banner starting October 1st<\/strong> to show that you’ll dedicate 10%, 25%, 50% or 100% of your sales to All Hands Volunteers! If you’re planning on joining us, please mention it in the comments below or email Lesley<\/a> so that we can keep track of whose participating!
\n\"inline-circles-badges\"<\/a>
\nDownload the AHV Badge PSD<\/strong><\/a>
\nAt the end of October, take down the graphic badge from your shop banner, email Lesley<\/a> the final amount you raised for AHV, then submit it to them through this Donation Page<\/a><\/strong>.
\n\"inline-circles-allhands\"<\/a>
\nWhy All Hands?<\/strong> Our CEO Bubs<\/a> co-founded All Hands Volunteers after spending 5 months in Thailand after the tsunami in 2004 — seeing how effective spontaneous volunteers could be in helping others put their lives back together. He spent the next 2 years living and working in disaster areas around the world, helping the organization grow into a trusted and transparent vehicle for good, and now resides on the board of directors.
\nIf you’d prefer a different charity, then I encourage you to pay it forward to Charity:Water<\/a> through Cameron Moll’s Authentic Jobs 8-year Anniversary Campaign<\/a> or another charity, and let us know!\n<\/p>\n
