What to do when there is 50ft of snow on the groun

What to do when there is 50ft of snow on the ground (ok, maybe not 50, but a LOT) and it’s 8˚? Dream of warmer days, the sound of the ocean and adorable otters.

Slowly adding to my collection of sketches and considering selling them online. What do we think?

We made it to another Friday, friends!💃🏻Thou

We made it to another Friday, friends!💃🏻Thought I’d share some “fun facts” for the new faces around here.

When I first began studying graphic design, MAC computers weren’t in the classroom yet so I had to learn how to physically set type. I’m talking cutting and pasting 12pt type in a straight line onto a board!🤪 (yes, I’m old AF and 100% ok with that!)

I’m originally from California. I love the beach but I have a phobic fear of large waves so you’ll just see me standing in ankle high water.🌊

I love music, all kinds, but I can listen to Linda Ronstadt albums 24/7🖤

One of my first job interviews out of college was with Larry Flynt publications. I took the interview because I had NO idea who Larry Flynt was. (hint - he owned Hustler magazine) Didn’t get the job, likely because of the sheer look of horror on my face during the whole interview.🤢

That’s just a little about me. I’d love to hear some little-known facts about you! Do tell.🙂👇🏼

When I chat with other designers, one of the quest

When I chat with other designers, one of the questions that come up is, where do you draw inspiration from?

There are MANY things that inspire me, but architecture and interior style are at the top of my list along with travel.

This photo represents both. This is the Belvedere museum in Vienna. Stunning architectural details everywhere you look. Needless to say, I can’t wait to get back to traveling again!🖤✈️

What inspires you most?
