Dec 22, 2022

welcome to your weekly place where being random is not only ok but also encouraged, The Nexialist!

wow, can you believe? this is the 100th time i’m sending you this newsletter. this year i have shared more than 400 links with you, religiously and ritualistically ~~almost~~ every thursday morning, and i reached more than 100k views on my newsletters. this is HUGE. this is my gratitude edition for all this year’s brainsparks, so i made a list of some of some of my favorite contents i’ve shared here (or not, like the recipes at the end)🫀

thank YOU for being there, reading, sharing, commenting, e-mailing me (and buying me coffees). i would also like to thank the people around me who inspire me: my partner Juan, my boyfriend Andrea, my siblings and family, my friends (especially Gustavo, Giacomo, Roel, Victor, Tassia and Raquel), Whatsapp and Slack groups, and even the good side of the algorithms that send good content my way. also, thank you to all companies that i collaborated and learned so much with this year: Envisioning, CUBO, The Dancing Fox, Douwe.works, Fink Content, The Best Social, Intuit Research, Canvas8, Discover.ai, Greenpeace, ActionAid, Spotify, Motorola and Coca-Cola. what gives me purpose is to keep learning, and i’m so privileged to be able to do this with my work and with this newsletter. writing The Nexialist makes me feel like i’m connected to what is happening and gives me some sense of discovery, while sharing learnings or recommendations. so yes, i can’t say it enough: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! 🥰🥰🥰

now, enjoy the first part of this years flashback:

🔌Let’s Collab?

I truly believe innovation comes from bringing improbable areas together, and that’s why I called this project The Nexialist. Some sectors are known to be self-referencing and hermetic. Sometimes teams are on autopilot mode, focused on the daily grind, which hinders innovation. As a Nexialist, I like to burst these bubbles, bringing references from different areas, and maintaining teams inspired and connected to the Zeitgeist.

I offer inspiration sessions called Brainsparks, creative desk research (Zeitgeist Boost), Plug’n’Play deals for workshops and sprints, and other bespoke formats. If you want to know more about this, send me an e-mail with your challenge(s) and we can figure something out together. Check out my website and some work I’ve done below:
