Hello! Lovely to meet you!

Welcome friends! Lovely to have you here! So where exactly is "here"? And what on earth is a ThinkerBelle? "Here" is a blog space on all things that interest this little strategist, namely design, social media and technology. Throw some brands in the mix and we're good to go. I like to think that "ThinkerBelle" (my strategist persona) lives at the intersection of these three domains. I hope you enjoy this space, please comment and don't be a stranger. I appreciate you being here. Follow me in the tweetverse if you like @thaz7. Stay groovy.

    Feltron Report.

    Feltron Report.

    Nicholas Feltron, the amazingly brilliant designer dedicated to data, made famous by documenting his every action and encounter in extreme detail. While many of us chronicle our lives through our social media identities (facebook, twitter, foursquare…) for Feltron, it was something different. His mission is about learning and teaching.

    The digital misfit.

    Innovation with soul. 2010 style.

    Innovation with soul. 2010 style.

    Technology began as an austere, cold concept. Technology as we understand it going into 2010 has evolved so far from those fearful notions of Y2K in 1999.
