CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH WITH JOANN
After the way 2020 went down, I was hesitant to make New Years resolutions for 2021. However, one thing I WON’T be doing this year is hoarding fabric I love and saving it for “one day”. Those days usually never come and life is too short to not enjoy beautiful things...
5 FABULOUS FASHION “SKETCH” ARTISTS
Two of the things I love most about my job is that I have the opportunity to work in different industries and constantly learning new things. Lately, I’ve been working a project in the fashion industry and I’ve been having a great time while doing so.
Have you ever seen one of those impossibly chic and deceptively simple fashion sketches?
8 ELEMENTS OF A CATCHY MAGAZINE COVER
I know we live in a digital World, but nothing beats the feeling of curling up with a cup of tea and turning the glossy pages of a fashion magazine or flipping through the textured matte pages of an artsy periodical. I've risked missing numerous flights because I lose...
THE POLITICS OF DESIGN
It's peak election season and I've had enough of politics, debates and those damn commercials. How about you? With that being said, this post is not (directly) about politics - it's about design, with a little political snark thrown in for good measure. From the...

THE SHAKE SHACK
Confession: I make a lot of restaurant decisions based purely on the logo and branding. Such was the case when I was in Las Vegas and took a "gamble" on a burger place I'd never heard of. Among all the glitz, glam and flashing lights on The Strip; the simplicity of...
THE BRONNER BROTHERS BRING IT!
As a graphic/web designer I am always fascinated by new colors, textures and trends. Although I’m not big on experimenting with hairstyles (most days I just resort to a messy bun), I look forward to seeing the creative styles each year at the Bronner Bros....
FOR THE LOVE OF DESIGN
Happy Valentine's Day! Those three words often conjure up cringe-worthy images of cheesy teddy bears, cellophane wrapped carnations and over-priced greeting cards. It sucks that an occasion to celebrate love (in all forms) has been reduced to an anxiety-filled day of...
IT’S NOT HOW GOOD YOU ARE…
It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want To Be by Paul Arden is one of my favorite books. I've read it countless times and will probably read it many times again in the future. It's a great jump start whenever I feel like I'm in a creative slump .... and it's...
