FEATHERS FEATHERS FEATHERS!! They’re still goin! And I’ve been wearing this earring almost everyday! And I love it! Sallimar made it for me! Give her a holla if you want one too! Plus She’s got a RAD personal style. This feather earring also made an appearance in the Sevenly photoshoot! So fun.

I was a special guest on SHOWIT LIVE today hosted by TREVOR DAYLEY! Here is the replay. Talking about design, branding, business, a fun iPhone app, and even our puppy Parker makes an appearance.

Just got the new @thejackandwhite EP undercover! My fave is Cry Me a River (Taken with instagram) To listen and download: http://www.smarturl.it/undercover

New website! I can’t believe it’s almost been two years since I have updated my portfolio website!! And I am stoked that I got the time to actually do it and finish it!! YAY!! It’s definitely different than the site I had before. But I think I like it. It will take some getting used to.

You’re not crazy! You’re right! This video doesn’t have any sound. Heh! I created it using my Canon 5d Mark 2 and good Ole iMovie for the home page of my new website.

BREAKING UP WITH A CLIENT LEAD

A fellow designer (and quite amazing might I add) asked a GREAT question in a design group and I thought it would be an interesting topic for discussion today. She asked:

How do I break up with a lead? After having a conversation with them I just don’t feel like we’re a good match. I’m wondering how I nicely convey that to them without making them feel unwanted.

DEFINING A BRAND

Justin and Mary had me quest posting over on their blog last week while they are off doing a workshop in Australia! LUCKIES!!! They asked me to write about my first 3 suggestions for defining a brand when you are just getting started! Their audience is mostly photographers, so I wrote it geared towards that industry. But after re-reading what I wrote I think there are a lot of things to be taken and applied to different industries. So, I thought I would share it with you! Here it goes:

31 bits new collection

I am seriously drooling over the 31Bits new summer collection! Bold, bright, and sooo elegant!! Congrats 31bits on a very inspiring collection that is doing good and making a HUGE difference in the world. Go cruise around their new collection. Which one do you think will be a HOT seller?

diy art installation
I wanted to share with you a very simple art installation project. I realized that my downstairs didn’t really have any personal photos, clippings or anything to make it, well, a “home”. So I got a few photos printed, used some items found around my home, and busted out a simple, yet effective little art installation for my kitchen… and I also captured the process for you to check out too. I like simple, easy, and stupid proof for a true DIIY project. haha.
In this DIY we are striping clothespins, stringing wire around nails, and hanging our photos. Click on the photos for the simple instructions.
