This week I got to work with talented illustrator and designer Ray Yuen on a bilingual invitation he designed. I like how the ‘double happiness’ character is raised in the middle of that block of blue color, very cool. Thanks Ray! :)

Right after New Year I spent a few days cleaning off my shelves (…which are somehow still messy) and I realized I had some notecards left over from my last sample sale in December. I listed them in my etsy store, $5 for a pack of eight cards, if you need to stock up.

I’m taking a few days off this week to go on a little road trip, but wanted to post these cards I printed this week for Parachutes.org. Parachutes is Etsy founder Rob Kalin’s new non-profit, aiming to shake up the way people teach and learn. It’s based in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and will be launching [...]

Hooray! Another episode of our library series is out, hosted by the delightful Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge.

I left work a little early the other day to take some portfolio pictures at home. I’m so excited because I moved in December, from Park Slope to nearby Windsor Terrace, and my new place has beeeaaautifullll afternoon sunlight. I took a bunch of shots for my website, which will be updated soon…I swear.

I had to share these cute notecards because I think they are such a great gift idea. One of my clients, who is getting married this weekend, wanted to give her bridesmaids some nice personal gifts. So she gave me a list of their names and told me a little about each one (one is [...]

Its a nice gloomy day here in brooklyn, I heard rain before I even opened my eyes this morning. But we’re listening to Zooey Deschanel in the studio, and I just finished printing this nice gray-blue ink. The new designs are coming along nicely, hopefully this rain will peter out later today.
color scheming

I’m going to be printing some new invitation designs this week, so I spent the weekend finalizing my color palette. Most of my “research” involved making cookies and flipping through Martha Stewart magazines on my couch (I have many years worth stacked neatly in my room). Eons ago when I worked a desk job, I [...]

Before the holidays I did a save-the-date card for a dear friend getting married in Turks and Caicos this May. She’ll be going with a flower theme for the invite, so for the save-the-date we did an outline of the islands. This wasn’t too complicated after I found a good map of the area and [...]

What a wonderful holiday this has been. I’ve been enjoying a lazy stay at my parents’ home in Pennsylvania, just on the border of Delaware in lovely Andrew Wyeth country. After such a nice break I am feeling rested and excited about starting the new year. I have some fun projects coming up in early [...]
