My gift to you…Eggnog Truffles!
Yep, a totally not-design-related post. Well, I do pretty these up a bit, so that's designish, right? I've been making these the past few years, made mention of it on a post, and people went a little...nuts (I mean that in the nicest of ways!)? So here it is...Happy Holidays! Eggnog Truffles (Makes 2 dozen) [...]
Is Poor Product Photography Killing Your Design…and Your Sales?
So you've spent the big bucks to have your e-commerce site/template designed, and you're feeling great about your professional-looking online store. But possibly even more important than having that well-designed site is having great photos of your products. Wait, did I just say that? But yes, it's true. Nothing kills a professionally-designed site like poor [...]
Introducing my New Client Referral Program!
If you're a current or past client (or will be in the future), I've begun a Client Referral Program to give my thanks for sending wonderful people like yourself my way. It's a win-win...you earn some free moolah towards your next design project, and I get to work with the best of the best. I'll [...]
It’s a New Year…business resolutions, anyone?
'Tis the season for resolutions! Yes, I admit, I'm a resolutioner (yes, totally a word). I always swear up and down that "this year will be different, I'm not jumping on the resolution-making-train, I'll live like everyday is Jan. 1: continually setting and achieving goals, keep my eye on the ball(s)..." etc., etc., etc. But [...]
Designing for a Cause
I've mentioned I love this job, right? And one of the things I love the most about it is that it's allowed me the opportunity to contribute my time and skills to extraordinary causes and groups, and to work with the amazing people behind them. I recently had the privilege of designing the logo for [...]
Shine a light on small business owners!
I just ran across this website, and immediately knew I had to share the info here. Since I specialize in working with small businesses, I think this is SUPERB! What a great way to support each other and get the word out on some truly spectacular, inspiring small businesses. I know I've been inspired by [...]
The latest and greatest….
In the great words of Will Smith, "Summer, summer, summertime!" That being my excuse for not blogging ;). But along with all of the summer activities, visitors and entertaining the kiddos, I've been very busy with many new clients, which is great! And better that I'm working on someone elses' projects than my own, right? [...]
Portfolio prettied up
In between client projects these past few weeks, I FINALLY got around to spiffing up my own site a bit. Namely, my poor portfolio. When I put my site up initially, I was so busy with clients but knew I needed to get something up, and quickly. And (thankfully!!) I've stayed busy, so my site [...]
New year, new designs!
Gosh, is it too late to say 'Happy New Year'??? Time has...zipped past me at warp speed. But I hope everyone's holidays were fun, safe and heartwarming. It's such a jam-packed month, December, and I know it's hard to stop in your tracks and take a few seconds to just enjoy a moment. Probably something [...]
