PHOENIX //: From sketchbook chaos to service design clarity - the CEC ecosystem

Vibrant sketchbook spread featuring 'PHOENIX' title with colorful geometric shapes, handwritten notes, sticky notes, and overlapping design frameworks creating an energetic visual representation of creative brainstorming and flow state thinking.

Creative chaos in motion: Tuesday 04.28.2020 sketchbook spread with 'PHOENIX' energy. Vibrant geometric shapes, organic patterns, and systematic frameworks collide across the pages. Yellow sticky notes ('COLOR COMPLIANT,' 'YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ') frame layered thinking that includes 'ownership,' user flows, and scattered insights. The visual captures multiple projects converging in real-time creative exploration.

Tuesday 04.28.2020 - Rylie picked this spread for vibes, colors, and playful patterns.

PHOENIX energy threading through the creative chaos. Multiple projects converging, ideas overlapping, systematic frameworks mixing with organic shapes and fragments of thinking. "Ownership" is buried in there somewhere, connecting dots that won't make sense until later.

This is what flow state looks like on the page - not clean, not linear, but alive with possibility. The visual energy of how you think becomes as important as what you're thinking about.

Color as a creative tool. Patterns as thinking scaffolding. The messiness that eventually crystallizes into breakthrough solutions.

The slow thinking happened here, in this chaotic spread, long before any PowerPoints got made.

🌊 How do you capture creative energy when multiple complex projects are demanding your attention?
