Having new or innovative ideas is essential to pushing the world forward and so we asked the community to share stories of the most innovative things they’ve done in their career. Our hope is to inspire folks who think only scientists or tech-wizards can innovate – innovation is possible for everyone, regardless of job title or function, industry or geography.

At SimplyLoc’d, we knew early on that no two loc journeys are the same. That’s why we introduced Personalized Loc Care Plans – a unique and thoughtful innovation that ensures each client receives hair care, styling, and maintenance guidance tailored to their specific hair type, lifestyle, and loc goals.
This wasn’t just about standing out – it was about truly serving our clients. From assessing scalp health and loc maturity to offering product recommendations and loc options, each plan empowers our clients to care for their hair with intention, even between appointments. Read more>>

Innovation doesn’t always look like flashy technology or radical shifts. Sometimes it looks like weaving together threads from different chapters of your life to create something entirely new. In my work as a counseling astrologer, I often find myself innovating through integration—drawing on my background in education, the arts, writing, and healing to design experiences that engage the whole self.

I am honored to work in the deathcare industry, where I support families before, during, and after a significant transition in their lives. My role involves prearranging funerals, helping families choose cemetery arrangements, and providing grief support resources. One of the most common concerns I hear over and over from families is that they don’t know how to talk to their children or grandchildren about death. Read more>>

Rather than following the conventional path of architectural practice, I made an intentional decision to focus on the technological side of architecture, exploring how 3D printing, digital fabrication, and computational design can revolutionize the built environment. Architecture as a field has been slow to integrate new technologies at scale, and I wanted to challenge that by researching how these innovations could be leveraged not just for efficiency but for sustainability and inclusivity. One of my most innovative projects involved studying 3D-printed architecture green systems, examining how digital fabrication could be applied to urban infrastructure while balancing environmental impact.

My business is based on the principal that limited time and resources can be creatively advantageous if applied to a project strategically. I developed a production model that enables a small team to produce cinematic content on a micro-budget. This model grew out of a challenging opportunity that presented itself several years ago to deliver elevated visuals across multiple tv shows at once without compromising production value. After assessing the budget and schedule, I suggested a method that allowed for visual continuity across all episodes and organized the workflow to maximize resources across the board. Read more>>

In my photographic career I shoot both commercially and fine art images. I was absolutely influenced by the classical realist painters and how their work had an incredible feeling of depth and intricate design.
An instance of this is the way Vermeer handled light and shadow. The flesh tones glowed with luminosity. We, as photographers, paint with light, it is how we see and how we express our imagery, it is the very essence of using that light that illuminates everything that we try to capture. Read more>>
