ISM:10 Year Exhibition at Grand Central Art Center
I’ve worked with the non-profit ISM:A Community Project for several years now, both curating and exhibiting works. I’m especially excited about this show, as I’ve been involved in a couple different ways. I was to help ISM re-brand their identity with the relaunch of their site, by designing their logo and 10 year logo. The

One of my favorite things in the whole world is this vast thing we call the world wide web. I often find myself jumping from page to page, link to link, clicking on this and that, learning and exploring. Today I stumbled upon a designer’s site DesignLoveFest after seeing a website they had designed. on
Here Comes the Bride….
I am one of those rare people who really doesn’t enjoy most traditional celebratory events. I try not to attend baby showers, family parties, infant baptisms, or weddings…. as much as possible. However, if you find me in attendance its because I truly am there to support you, and let you know how happy I
American Nostalgia Opening Reception
Last night we rolled out to the Muckethaler Cultural Museum to check out the opening for American Nostalgia. It had a strong turnout, with a full parking lot and wide variety of people in attendance.

So after procrastinating for some time I finally finished my piece for the show American Nostalgia that opened last night at the Muckenthaler Museum in Fullerton. The hardest part was coming up with my idea. But after much deliberation came up with a simple concept that I could execute in a short period of time.

Happy Street Fan Art
(fan art by Enkayeff) My husband laughs at me for being so invested in some of the games I play on my ipad, but its actually his fault, since he bought it for me in the first place. Every once in awhile I find a game, one of those build a village, aquarium, or zoo,
Reinventing Something Gorgeous
This last week I’ve had a couple encounters into other artist’s works where I couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblances. The age old saying that there is nothing new is in a way true, but also untrue in that things are constantly being reinterpreted or altered. The illustration was a hair study done with

The show is titled “Supernatural” and its description states: “Traditions are an integral part of every community. Some of these come from superstitions that our ancestors carried with them…Supernatural features the work of

Invitation to Design
One of the hardest things for me planning my upcoming wedding reception was figuring out how to design the whole thing. There’s so many beautiful pre-printed designs available these days that itd be easy to head to Michael’s and just buy a box set, add some names and send them out. However, being a designer,
How to Have a Designerly New Years: 2013
Its always a struggle to figure out what to do for the new years. While its fun to go out, its expensive, and crowded, and takes a lot of time and energy, but staying home just doesn’t seem to do justice for the new year. This year, we found the perfect medium, when we were
My First Hawaiin Art Walk in Lahaina

Hand Me a Crayon And Let’s Color!
I had the great fortune of being asked to do some freelance work for the Great Park in Irvine, CA. I posted before about the seasonal pins I had done for them, and that project actually came after this one. However, I’ve been lazy and haven’t exactly been posting things on time (sorry!) Back in

One of the best things about dating another designer is getting to bounce ideas off one another. Often times I’ll send Matt ideas for things I’m working on, and he’ll send me projects he’s working on and we’ll get one another’s take on things. Recently Matt has been doing some extra freelance work for his

“I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.” — Saul Bass
