Follow on InstagramMy baby's back from its much needed upgrade @alarytech! Time to work at higher speeds! Vroom💨 #apple #imac
These are some early sketches for a new logo I'm working on for a client. These didn't make the cut, but I'm excited about working on our fav concepts!

Wait times for email, and other hosting updates 😒 at least there's always other work to do while waiting, and my clients don't have to suffer through doing this themselves. #webdesign
Did some #word #brainstorming earlier, then client #logo #sketches to flush out some concepts. Those have been submitted to the client, so they can be a part of the process, and really guide it to realize their vision. #itsabouttheclient #graphicdesign Also I'm sad because I need a new eraser ...
I've been busy and neglecting social media, but I wanted to share this awesome water bottle I recieved today with the logo I designed for the amazing @surface_float. I just wish I was closer to go float there too!
I'm wearing makeup for the first time in ages, been working solo, but I'm meeting some new networking ladies this morning. I'm feeling fresh and excited!

Been doing non computer tasks, while waiting on Catalina update to finish and noticing how much these two cute additions to my desk match. Thanks @blissfuldaysdesigns and @pusheenbox 😍 I also need to hang my last two #stringart pieces... And do more. #gettingcreative

First I cleared stuff away, then we put the desk together, today I hooked everything up, now the important style decisions like what mouse pad to use, office accessories, and art to put up. #homeoffice #technology #officedecor #webdesign #graphicdesign
#cleaningout my #homeoffice I found my old #macrolens cheat for a phone. I also ripped up old notebooks which was so freeing! Time to move forward fresh, with new ideas, motivation, and energy!
New desk comes tomorrow! Today I'm working on my laptop on my couch, but this is problematic! #cats #havelapwillnap #workfromhomeproblems #webdesign #graphicdesign
