Hello. My life has been so busy, but I’m so thankful for all the amazing projects that I get to work on. I love all my clients and love being a graphic designer. I really do. Since my last blog, I did a little traveling to both Spain & Portugal. I hope to get to my photos soon and share all the amazing places that I was able to see. Our world is such a beautiful place! Anyways, I’m a little off topic here…
For my last project, I partnered with Jeni Castro, founder of Bronzed Bunny and the project was to create a Bronzed Bunny Look Book for potential franchise opportunities currently in California.

Hello! It’s been a while. For the last two months, I have been incredibly busy. I’ve missed you! Over the weekend I finally watched the move Hidden Figures. I adored it. You must see it. Briefly, it was about three brilliant African-American women at Nasa during the 60’s who served as the true brains behind one of the greatest operations in history – the launch of astronaut John Glen into orbit. One of the brilliant minds was played by Janelle Monae.
Janelle Monae is An American Singer, Actress, Songwriter and Model. I absolutely love her beauty. She is so stunning. Love her classic features. She can pull off any pop of color with her beautiful skin tone. In 2012, she gained the title of COVERGIRL. She is my new beauty crush! Here is a glimpse of some of Janelle Monae’s editorial shots…

I have been busy with wedding graphics lately. I have another Save the Date for you, but this one combines my two favorites – Fashion + Graphics. {Kaven} found me through my freelance work and had a vision to create a Save the Date invitation with a high fashion edge. Him and his fiance took several photography looks with a high fashion vibe and the idea was to use these images as a series for their wedding suite. Loved working on this project. They really made my job easy with their amazing photo. Here is a glimpse of the first round of options + the monogram options…
