Debbie Powell did a killer job making a poster for Boden with these illustrations.
Her illustrations are so perfectly playful and loose.
Make sure to check out the rest of her work!
Past Week
Wednesday, May 30, 2012
This past week my family was out visiting for graduation. For me, graduation has been long overdue and didn't feel as big of an accomplishment as it could have been. I had finished all my design classes last year and have only had a few general classes left over the past year, so when it came, the achievement felt a little passed -- but having my family out for the week got me excited! We did a lot of tourist type things and took them to our favorite restaurants and beaches -- Ryan even took my dad out surfing!). Here are a few snapshots from the week.
Le Bisou Sweets : Launch
Friday, May 25, 2012
I'm excited to share with you the launch of the Le Bisou Sweets branding and website that I've been working on recently. This project was so much fun -- Kaya and Margaux, the lovely ladies behind Le Bisou have killer style and had a lot of amazing ideas for their brand, which makes for a fun job!
I want to give a shout out to my developer, Breanna Rose, who seriously kicked it. I've tackled development before but I decided I would rather focus my time and energy on the design aspect. So I asked Bre if she'd work with me. And man, am I happy to have handed it off. Thanks Bre!

Spaces // Jen Peters
Monday, May 21, 2012
I'd like to introduce the personal workspace of the very talented, graphic designer, Jen Peters! I featured Jen's "Hoot A Day" project a while back and have since been admiring the rest of her work. Especially some of the amazing work she does for her job at Mattson Creative. Although she works at Mattson, I asked her to share her personal workspace with us this time, while she shares a little about herself -- (maybe a second feature?!). Enjoy!
Tell us about yourself as a creative.
I am a graphic designer and illustrator and I currently work for Mattson Creative. I feel very lucky to be able to do what I love for a living! I like to make things that put a smile on people's face.
Describe your creative journey.
I have always loved to create things. My favorite part about elementary school was when we got to illustrate books we had written. In college I discovered graphic design and fell in love.
Share a little bit about your space.
When I work from home my workspace is in my bedroom. I currently live in an apartment, so my space is not a very big, but it is cozy and it works.
What's your favorite thing about your space?
All of the art prints and cards I have around my room done by various artists I admire. They make me happy and bring life to the white walls.
What's one thing you think every creative needs in their space?
Little things that make the space feel like your own and inspire creativity.

Thanks Jen!

Today's phrase, 'Slow Down and Take A Break' is always an important thing to remember -- life can get so busy, but it's always good to get away.
