Holiday Hours

December 19th, 2008

Well, its that time of year again! I’ve been so busy this year that the holidays seemed to have snuck up on me. I will be closed December 24th-December 28th, and back answering emails and delivering design concepts on the 29th. I am making the trek up to Vermont to spend the holidays with my family, so I am making every effort to have project ends tied up by the 23rd, but some will be suspended until my return. Happy Holidays everyone!

Mail Call

March 27th, 2008

I was SO excited to get my mail today. For two reasons actually. First, I’ve been waiting for some document boxes I ordered from See Jane Work. I got a bunch of each style: art, letter, file & magazine holder in “grass” from the office basics line. The color is fantastically bright green and I can’t wait until I move into my new apartment and can put them to good use!

But the really great treat in today’s mail was a package from Elizabeth McCormick – with samples of all her new branding materials. Take a peak…doesn’t everything look just gorgeous! (and yes, that is one of my new green boxes).

If I’ve designed something for you and you’ve gotten it printed I would LOVE a hardcopy for my portfolio – just email me for my address.

Email Issues

March 17th, 2008

It has come to my attention that some incoming emails are going missing. I have no idea why this is happening, but I can assure you, it is frustrating! PLEASE, if you use my contact page or email me and do not have a reply within 24 hours, please re-email me! I am normally good about getting back to people – but I can’t respond to an email I don’t see!

Thanks :)

February 27th, 2008

I’ve worked with Gina of Gina Geigley Photography before, and with her move to a new market on a new coast, she was ready for a new look. Gina had her heart set on using orange, and what we’ve come up with reflects the warm vibrancy of SoCal. Thanks Gina!

On a roll now…

January 10th, 2008

Another look completed in 2008 – introducing a logo for Carol Sullivan Photography. Carol wanted to bring some fun color into her logo, polka dots, and mimic traditional photo filters. I’d say we accomplished that!

I created this new look for Angie over at Simplicity Photography. The scroll frame was inspired by a new victorian-esque pendent I recently bought. Just goes to show you there is inspiration in the everyday!
