ABOUT ME:
I'm a lifelong resident of beautiful Portland, Oregon. I began designing pages at age six, making little booklets patterned after my brother's high school yearbooks. After graduating with a BA in Communications, and taking a career detour or two, I began a fun and rewarding career as a freelance graphic designer. I have a deep belief in the power of personal photography to enrich life and increase joy. I also love modern design ... thus my Design Studio was born. I am an incurable optimist with the belief that everything in our lives works together for our ultimate good. I am crazy about my family, reading, dogs, road trips, the natural world, fashion bargains, and smokehouse almonds. |
CommentsEtsy.com, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways ...I love you because … I sometimes look at product and have to ask, “What is it?” A print, a sculpture, a piece of jewelry, a chair?
Your YouTube Channel lets me take a break and visit the studios of artists with their own unique ways of seeing the world. I realize that in a world full of new technologies, your artisans are sewing by hand, drawing with pens and pencils, and carving with a well-worn chisel. Your morning email (Etsy Finds) makes me think, laugh, swoon, and start day off with a happy surprise. I know that behind the hundreds of little shops are hundreds of creative people with hundreds of creative products … so I know the world is swirling with fresh ideas.
What was once utilitarian is now beautiful: Gym locker baskets, vintage oil cans, a worn seat from an old tractor. You are full of love and whimsy. You have crocheted hats for dogs. And a fishbowl shaped like a lightbulb. And lots of products with unabashedly sentimental slogans. You have beautiful patterned paper (both tangible and digital). And most of all, I love you because … You never stop surprising me … much like the people in my life :) Nobody's commented on this post yet. Add A Comment |
