The lightbulb moment came for me last year when I struck up a conversation with an amazing 97 year old woman. As well as having been a pioneering doctor with great stories to tell she was very fun to chat to. When I had to leave, she gave me a beautiful, old school card with her name and number engraved on it. A style icon to boot! Inspired by her, I just got my new business cards with only my name and email on them. The room to write whatever details you want doesn't just help bridge the transition between work and social occasions; it's also useful if, like me, your work fits in to lots of categories so different clients require a different approach.

I thought they were gorgeous, but wondered about all your contact info. Now that you've cleared it up, I'm thinking genius!
