D E S I G N L O V E F E S T

one day closer to the move. quite the time crunch considering i have noticed im a major pack rat, and i cant seem to get rid of anything that could one day have the slightest bit of sentimental value to me. total inner battle.

great news, i found out my two newsletters that I design for The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising are up for some awards! which is exciting. it has been a really exciting ongoing freelance project where I feel like I can express my style....here are a few pages.

fall issue 09...






spring issue 09....












A few random things that make me happy lately....

typography. i just want to EAT all the perfect type I see. type nerd to the max






geez....how true is THIS STATEMENT....(well, above and below)


bokeh lights. strange obsession.



& symbols...ever stranger obsession....


going to see DCFC at the Hollywood Bowl with friends in July. more than stoked about that.






vietnamese food. i eat PHO a rediculous crazy amount. this wonderful joint PHO CAFE in silverlake, modern twist on traditional vietnamese cuisine. my body is made of broth. but i am content.


why do i just love those damn olsen twins so much....

my cute rockstar boy.toy. ARIAN. (shout OUT to my BOI)






OKAY. so i have been dreaming about starting my own stationary company called BIRDS & BEES PAPERIE (copyright) ...so satisfy one of my loves for & symbols. and because cards are fun to make and fun to get. probably following after my mother who has always been a card obsessor. i think i get about 6 cards every holiday because she can never decide which is more appropriate. and my neighbor draws the beautiful cards at Papyrus, so she has inspired me a bit as well. i have all of the ideas, except lack of time. i figure the company's time will come....

card design...



I just made a new LOGO for work. im pleased with the outcome.




Life is g o o d . Im happy that I have a career in what I have always wanted to do. Im moving to an exciting new town with tons of new restaurants and adventures. I get to get out of HOLLYHOOD, where all of the ed hardy D-BAGS and sugar tits model/actresses reside....im sure there will be some overflow into silverlake, but a much lower % I cant stop getting excited about Thailand. i sure do miss all of my friends all around the country though. it makes me sad that im a bit out of the loop, and it would take me 560380 hours to catch up with all of them. but i need to start doing that more often. maybe i will call one today...well, maybe after the move. my boyfriend is a doll, he makes me very happy and is more than sweet and calming to me. My family is healthy and hopefully I get to see my mom soon if she visits. My little sister is all grown up and graduating and going to college, which blows my mind.

im still always in need of adventure and challenge and new exciting things. its a problem, but also brings a lot of good things. ummmmm seriously i keep having these psycho murder dreams where I am running and then either getting stabbed in the head or in a high speed chase or bungie jumping away from a murderer (which apparently I am an idiot in my dreams, because bungie jumping is no where near an intelligent escape route?) Apparently murder dreams mean change, so i sure as hell am ready for the transitional period to be over, because I am scared to even fall asleep! i guess ill work now....

i love you. to all my friends that i should call right now and talk for 6 hours each. i promise i will.

.LOVE.
