Work (& Life) In Progress

If you know me personally, you know I've been going through lots of transition lately... hence ZERO blog posts in 2 months! I've moved and have also taken a new job (more on that in future posts) and I've been frantically training to learn new skills, mostly in web development. Its exciting! (And stressful.) I am so lucky to be given the opportunity to learn new things, and to continue doing stuff I love, like graphic design! Here is what my computer screen has been looking like during the last few days... I've had a great time drafting these posters and will be sure to share the final product with you too!

 

Scribbler Too

Thanks to a blog I love, How About Orange, I just discovered a really interesting online tool called "ScribblerToo." Simply draw a line and these cool effects appear! This style feels kind of Tim Burton to me. Try Scribbler Too out here!

First Mobile Post

I've been loving instagram so much lately and so I wanted to experiment with sharing some of my instagrammed photos on the blog directly from my phone. Here's a first try. :)

The Weekend in Snapshots

 

I can't believe its July 9! No joke, I have been catching myself dating documents for mid June! 

That's because life has been so full and so great lately. I have been snapping photos on my 

phone all along the way. This weekend I got to see Katie, my lovely friend from graduate 

school, who was passing through on a month long roadtrip! While catching up we sipped 

sangria at a party celebrating the festival of San Fermin, explored City Lights Bookstore in 

San Francisco, ate squid cooked in its own ink, and hosted a yummy brunch in my backyard! 

Life is good.

Blue Skies

We've had the most wonderful weather here the past few weeks, and I've been spending lots of 

time outside! Here are a few of my favorite blue sky moments, captured with my i phone.

Save the Date/25th Anniversary

You may remember some of my other save the dates here and here! This one was especially fun to make because its our 25th anniversary, and I used this vintage photo of our terrace, where the party will be held. This building used to be the student union and part of our facilities was the tap room. We need to re-create this photo, adding some ladies to bring it to the modern world!

Love More/Worry Less

I'm playing around with designing a series of quotes, and thought I'd share this one.
What gorgeous colors in this bouquet! I think ranunculus are my new favorite flower.
