Sharing a win! This weekend I, along with my teammates, won first place in a legal design challenge organized by @legalcreatives @tessamanuello For the challenge, we were tasked with improving the newly designed iPhone privacy feature. I don’t know if any of you have noticed, but Apple introduced a new App Privacy feature similar to a nutritional label. The purpose behind the change is to help users understand what personal information apps collect and how that information is used. Think about how the moment you click on an eye wrinkle cream ad (yep, I’m that old now) and boom, that’s all you see everywhere on the internet, an eye wrinkle cream ad reminding you that you’re that old now. So, here’s the thing. When we use Facebook and other apps, we give them permission to collect our data, track us and sometimes sell our information. In addition to being an IP + Biz Attorney for badass women business owners, I’m also a legal designer. As a legal designer, I’m able to combine my creative side with my legal mind to make the law better, more human, easier to understand. I use legal design when I draft contracts for my clients. What’s the point of having a contract if you don’t understand it, right? 🎬 Here is the pitch video of our project 𝗦𝗠𝗢𝗞𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡 “𝗔 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗽 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆.” App highlights: ✔Fast and visual access to the data usage on all your apps. ✔Simple and clear information to help you understand what type of data is being shared by individual apps. 🚦Traffic light warning system. 🔔 Monthly report notifications. Big shout out to my teammates: @antonellapuntriano @camilyn_leone @thelegalbeagle4 @innovativlaw Hope you enjoy the video! 
It's Small Business Saturday! Support a woman-owned business. For many entrepreneurship is a path to freedom - freedom to choose! 
I’ve been writing and rewriting this post. I’ve missed my IG family. I connected with wicked smart, ambitious and wonderful women through my IG. Yet, I haven’t posted in three years. ✨Life happened✨ I put everyone’s needs before mine. —the 9-5 —the kids —friends, family, etc You know the story. I lost focus on my Vision. For me, Vision is simply how you want to show up in this world, how you want to feel, look, think, do, play, create, learn, explore. It’s not a Goal but your Lifestyle. I try as much as I can to refrain things from negative to positive. Basically, give myself grace. So, I did not stop or quit or give up on my vision… I Paused. When life happens When we reach a crossroad When we have to take big leaps When we lack clarity We don’t quit! 👇🏾 We either Pause, Pivot, or Purse The Plan —————————————————— I paused to gain much-needed clarity. What does Deneen truly want? Not what I should do. As someone who checked all the boxes that’s supposed to ensure your success and happiness, I was following the should path. This is what you should do to guarantee success – top-notch college and law school, prestigious career, beautiful home and family of four. —————————————————— Those boxes can be traps. The shoulds may hold us back from feeling fulfilled. Honor your Wants. That’s your vision. I want to create. I want to create functional and exceptionally beautiful tools to help other women gain clarity, confidence and courage to reach their big goals. I want to create a life that is not dictated by the status quo – the shoulds. So, I’ve been in the lab working on creating just that. Honoring what I want. 👉🏾 I’d love to hear from you. What have you been working on? What have you paused, pivoted or pursued? What areas are you lacking clarity? 
She's a beast! Love her drive. 
Movement brings clarity, makes your fears less scary, gets you over the plateau. Start doing. 📷 @cleowade 
I agree! I live and breathe creativity from power tools to pretty paper. If I don't flex my creative muscles, I get really cranky, frustrated, short-tempered, and stuck. Creativity is my mojo. Can you relate? Repost from Kat Walters @katwalters_ 
Couldn't sleep last night. I popped up extra early this morning. Excited about my new direction, opportunities and collabs. C L A R I T Y is a helluva drug. 📷 @ohjoy 
It's never too late to reset. You are more than your resume, your degree, your training. Silence your mind and listen to your heart. Those whispers that will not go away are the keys to getting unstuck. 
Happy Easter #graceupongrace

My little miss placed 4th all around at the LA state gymnastics competition this weekend. It's been a season of ups and downs for her. She skipped from Level 2 to Level 4, which is a big jump for a gymnast. She also missed a few competitions this season, but my determined, persistent and competitive little girl worked hard and pulled out a 4th place all around! 
Get it in!!!! What's on your desk today? 📷 via @lovelyindeed
