Brian held a call for entries for his post on 50 Creative Business Cards of 50 Graphic Designers, and mine was chosen as one of them! I’m in excellent company too: among them is former […]

March 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments

It’s a bit of a Green Week around here so far. Now that certain people have received their birthday gifts in the mail, I can finally unveil a project I am really excited about: my recycled notebook/sketchbook.

Think Green: Recycled Business Cards

March 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments

I’m planning a job-hunting trip to New York City later this week, and realized that I was lower on business cards than I thought I was. In a way, the timing is perfect as I’m in the process of updating my cards and printing them along with the cards I’m designing for several people who […]

Future of Gocco??

January 30th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Just a quick post since I was poking around on the internet before grabbing my lunch. It looks like getting a Thermofax machine is the best way to keep gocco-ing now that the supplies are cut off? I’ll have to check into this. In any case, Craft Chi has a great tutorial on how to […]

About a month ago now, I had emailed her this awesome how-to that I saw on Creature Comforts describing how you can turn old plastic […]

Currently Loving: iPod Applications

December 7th, 2008 · 16 Comments

When I first got my iPod Touch, I had mixed feelings: guilt over abandoning my (now broken) G2 iPod (that crystalline beauty had an elegance unmatched by any of the click-wheel iPods), feeling frivolous for getting the Touch (even though it was free with my new mactop), and disappointment that it wasn’t the iPhone (I’d […]

Chicago Part 1: Spotted While Out and About

July 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Right now I’m on a business trip, so my longer inspiration posts from Chicago will have to wait just a wee bit more. However, I thought now would be the perfect time to share a few things I snapped photos of a la James Bond. (Think: covert-spy-camera) So I apologize upfront for the poor quality: […]
