Happy 2025

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”

“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.

For Jacob & Ella… your very own Swoon

Sharing Goodness.

Good Morning! My fb memories have been bringing me smiles lately. A few years ago when the future seemed dark and grim (and I am talking before the pandemic — ha, who knew) I reached out to my fb community and asked them to share a nice story, some goodness they had created or experienced.Continue reading “Sharing Goodness.”

Clutter

My girlfriend is moving, actually a lot of my girlfriends are moving…or have recently moved. Downsizing to be closer to family, downsizing to rid themselves of cheating husbands, downsizing so they can work less with lower overhead, upsizing for some lovely generational living with their parents. Cha cha changes. With change comes decluttering. One ofContinue reading “Clutter”
