Feature on Design.Scout

I just wanted to share that I was recently featured on the design and lifestyle blog Design Scout. The site typically features spaces and the makers of those spaces, but when co-founder and design enthusiast Jude Sue asked me to contribute some design/composition tips for their readers, I jumped at the chance. They were also kind enough to host an Instagram Giveway for one our 2016 Calendars.

I chose four projects to feature--a logo/branding project for a client, a calendar collaboration for my online shop, the birthday party stationery for Lucas, and a holiday gift guide for my blog.

NEW 2015 Calendar / Jennifer Young Studio x Good on Paper

I'm beyond excited to share with you a fun collaboration I've been working on for the past couple of months -- a 2015 calendar I designed with super talented photographer Jennifer Young. This special limited edition calendar was inspired by Jennifer’s travels around the world and our love of clean, minimal design, coupled with hand lettering and copper foil printing. It is now available in an edition of 100 copies in my Shop as well as Jennifer's shop (she's got some amazing prints for sale). Each calendar is hand numbered on the front cover.

My Work: Card Set Collaboration with Sally J. Shim for Brika

I recently designed a card set in collaboration with blogger/designer/crafter/mama/author Sally J. Shim that is available exclusively for Brika in limited quantities. The cards are part of the Pretty Paper and Packages Gift Set which includes Sally's new book Pretty Packages (published by Chronicle Books), 1 'Thank You' stamp + 8 hand-lettered gift tags by Ampersanity, and my set of 3 cards with graphic patterns inspired by the book's cover.

It was so fun and easy collaborating with Sally (remember when Sally and her boys came to visit us in Berkeley this summer?). She is a crafter extraordinaire and magically turns any package into a beautiful gift. Way better than my wrap-gift-in-tissue-paper-throw-in-old-bag style! Lucas and I did the Hand Carved Stamp Wrapping Paper Project and we had so much fun! The book is chock-full of creative gift wrapping projects, many of which are kid-friendly which we loved. Check out the Gift Set at Brika for the holidays!
