I think one the hardest things to keep up with as a designer is my portfolio – it takes a good amount of time and effort to keep it current and updated with well curated photos and graphics. It was definitely time to update my portfolio on my website, so I spent the last month or two working on overhauling my whole site and blog! It feels good to start fresh. I’m also going to be blogging again – although it was nice to have an impromptu break from it during the last few months, I’m so glad to be…

Earthy / Client Mood Board
I love the feel of this mood board – the textures and colors create such a hand made and warm mood. We’ve already wrapped up this design and I love how it turned out! The lady who I’m working with loves all things folk, hippie, and nature-inspired; so we’ve incorporated different textures and art mediums to give it that earthy feel. I’m looking forward to sharing the finished product very soon!
Introducing – My New Shop!
I’ve been wanting to do more with printed products. There’s really nothing like designing something and then getting to see it in print – it’s like when you can touch it, it becomes real! So I’ve created a shop with Society6 to start selling some of my work, and I’m excited to see how this goes!

From now until September 14 you can get $5 off any phone…

High King of Heaven, my victory won,May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.” That hymn is one of my favorites – and I thought I’d make another wallpaper using the first line from it. I just ordered some new brushes (Yasutomo Silverado – sizes 2, 3, 4). I already had the 00 brush…
A Northern Belle / Blog Design
Every time I work with Meghan I have so much fun – she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever gotten to know. I had designed her blog about a year or two ago, and recently she emailed me saying she was going to be changing her blog a little bit – including the name and the design. She’s an author (and just published her first book, a historical fiction novel about the Civil War!) and after a few years of blogging and figuring out the direction she wanted to go, she was ready to bring it all together…
