Design Meets Craft
After having my Cricut a couple of weeks, I've happily discovered that it's the precise intersection between designing and making. I have an idea, I design it in Illustrator, and I test it with my Cricut. That workflow is very satisfying because I have the confidence that my files will work beautifully for everyone who … Continue reading Design Meets Craft

Today, I wanted to show off some of my latest work. Last week I revealed that I'd acquired a Cricut.

Etsy and Redbubble
I've been having some success with both Etsy and Redbubble lately. I've started to design files for use with die-cutting machines and posting them to Etsy. I've made a few sales! I've been selling the files for $.99 each. I figure it's a good place to start and I can increase the cost as my … Continue reading Etsy and Redbubble

Begging For Cream Logo
Here's my latest logo design. The clients initially described the project as a typography-based logo. What they ultimately wanted was much different. The logo is for a line of ice cream that's erotically themed. "Ice Cream Company" is based on the font used for the Fifty Shades Of Grey. Although I initially was not told … Continue reading Begging For Cream Logo

Back to the Proposal Grind
I know I should be treating freelancing as a second job, working 10-20hrs per week to make ends meet. But I admit I forget about that a lot. It's time once again to make that better. My husband recently fell near his work and has been unable to work regular hours for the past month. … Continue reading Back to the Proposal Grind
