Every other month, I’ll be sharing conversations from the high perch:
talks with clients, colleagues, and other brilliant scavengers who are picking through the mess of the world and designing something better out of it.

Stories of strange magic, design, and the delicious mess of creation
By me, Brand Vulture & Design Doyenne
Caution: May Contain Feathers
Creativity is a glorious, chaotic mess. BUT we often act like it’s a clean, linear process—like great ideas show up fully formed, neatly packaged, and smelling faintly of artisanal coffee. In reality, creation is weird. It’s full of false starts, unexpected turns, and moments where you’re pretty sure everything is a disaster right before it somehow works.
Vultures understand transformation. They take what’s been left behind and turn it into something vital—just like the creative process, just like good design. That’s my kind of creative spirit.
So every other month, I send out stories from the high perch—conversations with brilliant, unconventional, and slightly feral humans. These are the makers, the shapers, the ones turning chaos into something meaningful. It’s part insight, part irreverence, and fully vulture-approved.
Design, With a Side of Wild
Hi, I’m Barbara—graphic designer and brand vulture (think creative scavenger with a sharp eye for transformation). I help changemakers turn big ideas into brands that captivate, endure, and draw in their people.
