Over Memorial Day weekend, my husband and I helped my brother and his wife move from Nashville, Tennessee (specifically Murfreesburo) to Winter Park, Colorado (specifically Tabernash). We flew down to Nashville Thursday night, spent all day Friday driving, spent Saturday in Kansas with my parents, finished the trip on Sunday, stayed at my sister-in-law’s parent’s [...]
The phase “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” is a pangram (a phrase that uses all of the letters of the alphabet). It’s especially used when demonstrating a typeface because it is short and coherent.
Unfortunately, I’ve always taken issue with this phrase; I’ve never met a dog (lazy or otherwise) that would [...]
Last night I had the pleasure of doing a mini-photoshoot marking 6 months in the world for my friend’s son. He’s a super cute and smiley little guy and even though he only lasted about 1/2 hour, we had a great time.
I’ve posted a few of the images in lieu of last night’s Design a [...]
Ever since we returned from the UK, my Design a Day performance has been spotty. For some reason I’ve had a barrage of side projects pop up and they’ve been consuming most of my “after work work”. I’m very excited about the project I just completed because it involves my dad, food, and a food company. [...]

With a stroke of genius, Doberman Studio combines paper and fashion, my two loves. Drool.
I can’t say I’m sad that this is the last day I’m challenging (think forcing) myself to use an image in every design. It’s been a little difficult, and I can’t say that my designs this week have been super impressive, but then again that’s what challenges are for right? That being said, I do really [...]
Found the young inspiring Caitlin Worthington via SiteInspire.net (her site was featured there). She’s only 19 years old and already has an impressive portfolio. Her images are beautiful, edgy, and fun.
I’ve secretly wanted to do that image behind the text thing for a while – I’ve just never found the right image. Welp, I found it tonight.
And there you have it folks; that cool image behind the funky geometric text look.
So excited about an impulse purchase I made last week that arrived just today. It’s a limited edition book called RRR 001 – A Collection of Recycled Art By and International Group of Talented Friends. The designer is Scott Massey and co-designer is Jonathan Sandridge. The inside cover says:
We make waste for a living. So [...]
