Wished for then…Promising now

Dear Creativity,

Two years ago, I wrote you a letter.
It was the day The Innovation Doctor opened its doors.

I promised you I would help professionals see that creativity isn’t reserved for tech companies or design firms.
I dreamed of inclusive communities, playful innovation, and the joy of watching people discover their creative superpowers.
I said yes to sharing my stories, my secrets, and my spark.
I asked you to walk with me.

And of course — you did.

how it started...how it's going
The Innovation Doctor August 17, 2023 … August 17, 2025

Today, I look around and see how much has unfolded in just two years.
A vibrant community in The Hatchery.
Idea networking sessions tapping into my background as a computer scientist. Yes, we talk to my rubber duck!
The relaunch of my YouTube channel to The Hatch Studio.
Workshops, masterclasses, and courses that have touched people I hadn’t even met yet when I wrote that first letter.

And perhaps the most significant shift of all is the clarity that my path isn’t just about sparking creativity. It’s about helping women entrepreneurs and multipassionates hatch their early-stage ideas into life.
Not someday. Not perfectly. But now.

You’ve had your hand in all of this, haven’t you?
Guiding me from sparks to incubators, from play to purpose, from a single open door to a quest: to help hatch one million ideas with the help of my friends, Feedback and Idea.

Feedback and Idea show up in my community spaces regularly.

So here’s my new promise for the year to come:

I promise to keep creating spaces where ideas feel safe enough to emerge, yet bold enough to grow.
I promise to keep reminding people that their dreams don’t have to wait for perfect conditions.
I promise to keep showing what’s possible when we listen for your whisper, and then dare to say yes.

My hope for everyone I serve is that they leave my work feeling braver, lighter, and more alive.
That they not only hatch an idea, but also rediscover the joy of being someone who creates.
Because if we can each take one idea from spark to action, we’ll change not just our lives, but the world around us.

Two years ago, I embraced the title, The Innovation Doctor.
Today, I recommit to looking in the mirror and acknowledging the black unicorn that I am.
A rare creature who makes magic out of possibility.
And you, Creativity, are the one who taught me how.

So thank you for every nudge, every whisper, every reminder to trust the magic and take the step.
I can’t wait to see what we hatch together next.

Sending my love and admiration. 😘

Innovatively yours,
Dr. Abigail
