I could give you the polished version.
Founder, visionary, entrepreneur, dancer, wife, mum with approximately 47 tasks to get done in any given hour.
But none of those really tell you what it’s like to work with me.
So..... let’s start there.
I’m Adele; Creator and Visionary of Australia's Freshest Christian clothing brand: Soul Submitted Designs
I’m a big believer that the things we create should actually mean something.
Not just look good for 'the post'
Not just have a clever slogan slapped across the front.
There needs to be something underneath it.
A belief.
A reason.
That’s where the name Soul Submitted came from.
Having the courage to submit your ideas, your creativity, your story — even when you’re not entirely sure where they’re going to lead.
And if you work with me, you’ll discover pretty quickly that I’m not particularly interested in doing things the way they’ve always been done.
I like questions.
Why?
Why not?
Who says?
What if?
And possibly my favourite:
“But what if we did this instead?”
I’m also very practical.
I love ideas. But at some point, somebody has to actually make the thing.
So working with me is probably a combination of big-picture thinking, creative chaos, getting stuck into the details and occasionally stopping mid-sentence because I’ve just thought of something or gotten a phone call
Another thing about me: I care about people: lots.
I care about good work. I care about doing things properly.
And I care about creating things that feel like you, rather than something pulled from a template because that’s what everyone else is doing.
I’ll encourage you to think bigger than you originally intended. And I will listen.
And I'll ask you if I may tell you what I think.
WARNING; If I believe there’s something genuinely good in an idea, I’ll probably get annoyingly excited about it.
Soul Submitted Designs is my little corner of the world where creativity, ideas, people and purpose get to collide.
So if you’re wondering what it would be like to work with me?
Come as you are.
Bring the half-formed idea.
Bring the idea you’ve been sitting on for three years because you keep telling yourself you’re “not ready.”
We can start there.
Keep going,
Adele x
