2025… lovely, not the year itself, who knows about that, yet. The numbers 2 0 2 5, they work, not symmetrical, not perfect, no huge kerning issues, a nice start to a new year. This is how graphic designers see the world. 2021 was a lot of kerning, the number one needed to be movedContinue reading “Happy 2025”

Mashed Potatoes
There are few things in life better than homemade mashed potatoes. Leave a little skin on, boil with tons of fresh garlic, more than generous amounts of butter, salt, pepper, cream cheese, and half and half. Not too smooth, not too crunchy, make it just right…like baby bear’s bed. They are what dreams are madeContinue reading “Mashed Potatoes”
“The David”
I was recently reflecting with a group of friends about high school. They pictured me as a girl from a tv show, “you were the one running the student government, had the lead in the show that was fundraising for some cause…and everybody knew you.” 100% no. I was pretty quiet, my bestie was theContinue reading ““The David””
to Mom (verb)
Hello America, Hello World… today is a big day in our country and I am a hopeful mess. As I have mentioned before, when I was little I wanted to grow up and be a mom…not a graphic designer, production manager, volunteer, or wife…just a mom. I have been fortunate to be all of theContinue reading “to Mom (verb)”
For Jacob & Ella… your very own Swoon
Our “kids” just got married and there will probably be many Swoons to come about the process of being a wedding coordinator, but this one is about my Swoon. It started with… Mom, do you want to do a toast, or should dad, or do you both want to? Then it became, Mom, can youContinue reading “For Jacob & Ella… your very own Swoon”
How is everybody doing?
Just checking in are usually the first three words I sputter when leaving voicemails. Please note, nobody (including me) seems to listen to voice mails anymore, we just call back and say, hey, you called?…but that’s a different Swoon. I tend to check in with my peeps often, a quick call leads to being anContinue reading “How is everybody doing?”
What Other People Think
The other day while scrolling I noticed a picture of three women from my neighborhood. They were out celebrating a birthday with dinner and a show in the city. All of them moms of elementary and middle school peeps. They were together and they glowed. One of them has my sense of humor, her gloriousContinue reading “What Other People Think”
I Love Snow Days
I grew up in Queens back in the days where NYC public schools did not close for snow. We had a blizzard in 6th grade I think, it was 1978ish. Bussed in kids were stranded at the school for a while but they finally got on the busses to go home around midnight. Privileged kidsContinue reading “I Love Snow Days”
Gifts…2022 edition
The season of giving is here and it has been a unique one for me. Our family has decided to cut way back, we really need nothing. A few token gifts, no overstuffed stockings, just small reminders that we see and love each other. When not spending time purchasing stuff, ones head becomes more clear.Continue reading “Gifts…2022 edition”
Thankful Series…Rain Room
I was looking for a picture last night. Scrolling. Scrolling. Scrolling. BOOM. There it was…not the picture I was looking for…but this one. Rain Room at the MOMA. We got on the standby line at 5am. Manhattan at 5am on a Saturday is something. Sitting on the pocket park wall, we were with other peopleContinue reading “Thankful Series…Rain Room”
