Things Look Different Around Here

Choosing your color palette for your brand is excruciating. There are so many options.

Due to a whirlwind of events, I have some time to (finally!) focus on Mighty Good Pen. After watching numerous YouTube videos, I decided to migrate this Squarespace site from 7.0 to 7.1. So far, I am loving the changes. And it’s a good thing that is the case because Squarespace has a “no takebacks” stipulation with this update.

Most of my content ported over just fine. I had to manually bring over a few blank pages, but nothing too strenuous. What you’re currently seeing right now is a placeholder. My goal with the revamp of Mighty Good Pen is to learn more from the design POV (words I never thought I'd say as a writer). I've already stumbled into lessons, which is my favorite way to learn. While I certainly have considerable experience working with designers, it is different to approach a project with design at the top of my mind. That said, although this color palette is fun and works, I intend to change it once I’ve put more thought into the visuals. So, for now, we have something that is functional and visually tolerable.

I’m also excited to launch my newsletter. I promise it won’t be lame. Ok, that might not be a good promise to make because I think a lot of stuff is interesting/cool that others may find boring. How about this — I promise not to slide into random people’s LinkedIn inboxes inviting them to receive my newsletter because that shit is annoying (and ineffective).

Hi everyone! I'm Dana Podgurski!

I'm a foot in the mouth, tongue in cheek, head in the clouds, and heart on the sleeve kind of gal. I live for new experiences, but am a total sucker for nostalgia at the same time. I'm tough as nails, but am a complete softie for all things kids and animal-related. I fly by the seat of my pants, and live for adventure. But I firmly believe that adventure is a mindset that one's self determines.

For work, I am a marketer through and through. Bringing brands to life, and content marketing are passions of mine. Many would consider what I do as nerdy, but I seriously dig it. I have been doing marketing contract work for years, and appreciate the variety it brings, and the relationships I've developed with my clients. If you're interested in a partnership, click here.

For fun, I love to create - writing/blogging, photography, and painting are my main three mediums of doing so. Feeling good and healthy is also high on my list, as it really lends itself to making everything more enjoyable. So I maintain a very active lifestyle, eat pretty healthy, and am outdoors as much as I can be. And if my blog didn't make it abundantly clear, I absolutely LOVE to travel (near and far) and go on adventures. I spend any extra money I have on tickets and feel so fortunate to have been to several amazing destinations both domestically and internationally. There's nothing more fulfilling than coming home from a trip and adding a been-there-pin to my map.

Cheers!

Dana
