As 2018 came to an end and 2019 is in full swing, we often think about new resolutions, goals, and ideas. For me it sparks new creative ideas. I like to reflect on what I’ve learned and what I want to learn throughout the year.

I tend to find myself in a lot of coffee shops and cafes while doing it. I think they have stepped up their game in aesthetics and creativity. Coffee shops and cafes often act as a mood board for me and get my creativity going. Here are some of my favorite coffee corners that spark my creative energy. And here’s an article from Maggie with more coffee shop recommendations.
