You ever go through phases where you can clearly see your vision but have no clue how to bring it to life? How do you get to the other side? . . . #potterylove #lifeisinthedetails #appreciatethelittlethings #homestyle #designisinthedetails
Looking forward to a quiet morning and a chill day. What are you up to today? . . . #beach #californiabeaches #tuesdaymood #tuesdaymorning #restdaymode #designerlife #weekendvibes
I got my start in the design world as a newspage designer about 3 years ago. Over these last few years I've worked with editors and papers all across the US, designing pages that meet each papers individual brand guides and quirks. It has been an interesting, fun and frustrating journey full of tight deadlines. . Lately I've been teaching myself more about branding and brand storytelling as a way to branch out outside of newspage design. I've had the most trouble with learning how to slow down, and not rush the work... Everything doesn't have to be finished in a day. It's ok to take your time, rest, and start again tomorrow. . This weeks branding case study is for a personal chef/nutritionist named Dylan. . What are you working on this week? . . . #designisinthedetails #designerlife #brandidentity #brandidentitydesign #pinspiration #moodboard #moodboardmonday
Another color combination inspired by last week's nail polish cleanout. . Plans for the day: Work on website, take a bunch of pictures, and do some baking. What are you up to today? . . . #leaves #livecolorfully #digitalart #digitalcoloring #adobeillustrator #doitfortheprocess #artoftheday #doodle #instaart

Spent some time working on my website, and researching how to get chapstick stains out of clothes. Any tips? . Moodboard for this week's project. I haven't completely decided on the project style yet, but I'm excited to see how it will turn out. . . . #moodboard #moodboardmonday #brandidentity #brandingdesign #creativitymatters #creativeprocess #designisinthedetails #photostyling
Early afternoon walk with my mom's dog Penny. You can catch a shaky glimpse of her in today's story. . Original plan for today was to go to the gym and catch up on some projects. My mind demanded a rest day and Penny needed her walk. How's your day going? . . . #fridaymood #walkdog #restday #fridayvibes #arizona🌵 #arizona_landscapes
Spent some time digitizing hand drawn pattern pieces. I'm pretty sure the color choices were inspired by my nail polish cleanout this morning. . . . #creativelifehappylife #mycreativebiz #creativitymatters #designisinthedetails #designlife #livecolorfully #patternmaking
