I blog about my design work, share tips & personal experiences!
Google Your Business
We all “google” services, products and companies we are interested in. It’s safe to say that everyone uses Google daily to look up something.
Happy Flyer Design
Mondays aren’t really the happiest of days… but when you get to share a fun and lively Happy Hour event flyer, well, Mondays get a little bit happier!
Finding Inspiration
I draw a lot of my inspiration from places you’d expect, like social media, books or magazines. However, I love being inspired in less obvious places.
Brand vs Logo
While we sometimes tend to interchange the word “brand” and “logo,” they are definitely not the same thing. Yet, both are equally important to any company.
Your Queen Bead Brochure
Check out this brand new brochure I designed and printed for my longtime client and friend, Wendy Bolerjack, aka Your Queen Bead.
A glimpse at my work process…

Facebook Debugger
Have you ever shared a link on Facebook and battled with it displaying the right image? Sometimes, you don’t get a thumbnail at all… frustrating, right? That’s when the Facebook Debugger can save the day.
AA Builders Inc Logo Design
It’s officially April, and Spring has sprung! New logos are blooming all this month, and that’s no joke! Today I’d like to share with you one I just completed for a brand new client!

Meeting Clients
Today I’m feeling thankful for the opportunities I have to meet the amazing individuals I call my clients.
Texas Specialty Steel Business Card Design & Print
Business cards still hold a purpose for entrepreneurs, and I base that on the fact that I still have clients that order cards regularly and in the thousands. Such is the case for my client, Texas Specialty Steel.
Beautiful Ambient Sounds
I could list a few things that help me stay focused throughout the day, but right now I’d like to talk about just one: ambiance. That’s right! I work best when I have tons of natural light coming through my window, the temperature is more warm than cold, the air smells of sweet cinnamon inspired candles, and… when there is noise.
Dream Big Invitation Design
A few weeks ago, I shared a sneak peek of an invitation I was designing for the Montessori School of San Antonio’s 2019 Annual Spring Gala. I had so much fun working on this project, and I recently delivered the finished prints to the client, which is why I’m excited to share them with you today!
Collaborative Design
I run my business a little differently than many in my line of work. I like working collaboratively with my clients… that means YOU are involved in every part of the project—from start to finish.
Property Sisters of Texas Business Card Design
While I like working on all different types of projects, I really enjoy taking part in the ones that feature women entrepreneurs, like these business cards for Property Sisters of Texas.
Have you heard of Picular?
Have you heard of Picular? I recently discovered this tool myself and was really impressed! Picular is a primary color generator that uses Google’s image search.
Camp MSSA Logo Design
Camp MSSA is an eight-week summer program that offers fun and stimulating activities for children. I had the pleasure of helping them create a brand new logo, unique to its purpose, but with ties to their existing school identity.
It’s time…
Do you ever wait until Monday to begin new projects? Maybe, you’re planning on starting “next month.” Or perhaps you’re waiting until it’s time for resolutions again.
No games here…
I love board games. We have a bunch of them at home, and we get new ones every year. However, when it comes to doing business, I don’t play games.
Mardi Gras Flyer Design
I recently designed this themed-flyer for Imagine Homes, and it was such fun to put it together!

I’d like to tell you about a great tool I use every day to help improve my writing skills: Grammarly!
New Tech Gadgets

How to add an email signature to your Gmail Account
One of the most overlooked, yet easiest ways, to get your brand and contact information in front of customers is an email signature.

I can tell you til I’m blue in the face why I believe in the work that I do. But instead, I’ll use this sample of one of my favorite brochures I created for Weston Dean Custom Homes.
