Working during my second trimester has been a dream. For some reason I feel so much more inspired and am really happy with my work. Maybe its the good vibes from the sun and a happy baby in my tum, but whatever it is, this summer has been aweseom for design work.

This girl is cool, super talented and full of amazing style. When she came to me to do her branding I was psyched! Her illustration style is absoluelty beautiful and her color palettes are right up my alley so it was a fun project to work on.

She wanted something fun, brushy with a touch of fashion but still simple and classic so we decided to do the brushy script look with a watercolor circle for details. I actually made these marks by dipping the bottom of something round into my calligraphy ink and stamping it on paper. I then scanned it and made it into the colors I wanted.

If you haven’t heard of Birdy and Me by now, you are really missing out. She is an amazing fashion illustrator from Australia. She has been featured in every fashion magazine you could imagine as well as designed for high end designers websites like Valentino and Armani. I have loved her style for such a long time and wanted to share her beauty with you all. Check out her site and see what she is working on. Everything she touches turns to gold. The song I chose to represent Kelly Smiths awesome style is from none else than the lovely Lana Del Rey’s new album. Check it out below.

So I am recently in a bunco group with a bunch of my friends and this month I was the host. My theme for the prizes is Date Night, which is a bunch of gift cards to different places for the girls to go on a fun date with their men. Since the packaging would be quite small and not too exciting I wanted to brand a little tag for them so it would feel more special than just a gift card. I designed these little date cards with all different types of people for all different types of dates. I wanted it to be really cute and modern with a bit sexiness. 60’s inspired and of course Marilyn Monroe beauty marks made for the fine details. Enjoy!
