The inspo behind this matchbook? Rejection! 🙂‍↕️ After getting a decent amount of rejections from RFPs and other projects this week, I found myself feeling frustrated and doubting my work. But instead of stopping, I decided to turn it into something else.

So yes — rejection sucks, but it also serves as fuel to keep refining my work, chasing my goals even harder, and showing up again with even more intention.

Here’s to turning rejection into a little spark! 🔥💛
