next steps

I realize it's been awhile since I posted – mostly because I was trying to figure out the next step. Continue to blog? Take the blog in a different direction? Etsy? Portfolio site? Video? Or simply... take a break? And then, I blinked, and a year had gone by... pretty unreal. 

But even though I haven't been blogging, I have been keeping busy with other creative projects. Below is a sampling of illustrations, videos and even a few photos from the gallery opening where three pieces of my art work were chosen. I have to say, It was a pretty cool year.

Even though I don't know which direction my creative passions will take me, I know I'll keep exploring, experimenting and learning. In the meantime, you can find me and more of my projects here:

Let me be completely honest, I know NOTHING about playing guitar.

I DO know when I was in college, I could easily kick back and listen to some cute guy in the apartment across the hall strum a little somethin’. :)  I know I love watching videos where Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz or John Mayer play on, barefoot, in their worn-in jeans. But I never knew I’D be able to have the time or talent to actually play a chord. Until today. I learned 3 chords. T.H.R.E.E. 3 chords people. That’s BIG... G, C & D - almost four actually because I’m working on A too. And it’s just …*inhale*... so so so fun. :) 

So this post is dedicated to all things guitar: Photography, Graphic Design and Fashion.

Lately, I’ve been so drawn to white type and logos set on top of photos or images. I can appreciate both the cleaner digital styles and also the handwritten designs. Each one can add so much to an image and the true typography can really shine. Below are some I really love (there are SO many great examples out there I could’ve kept looking all night.) I also added an adorable video showcasing tons of typography – all in French :) Avoir une bonne nuit mes amis!

(so this one isn't really a designed piece but at the same time, 
it could be. And I like it. So there :)
