"Jersey Girl" Wedding Save the Date


I've been working on a whole wedding package for my sister Lauren's wedding in October. The bridesmaids' dresses are plum/eggplant, so we stuck to that color scheme along with green. I've been having so much fun making everything from these save the dates, to bridal shower invites, to the actual wedding invites. Her fiance Micah is from FL and she's a Jersey girl, so I thought this Bruce Springsteen lyric would be perfect. They are also a laid back couple and Micah is a musician, so I made the card more fun rather than formal. The formal part could wait until the wedding invites, which will be posted in about a month- stay tuned :)

Laura & Doug - "Vintage Flower" Wedding Invite


I designed this wedding invitation for my friend Laura. She wanted one color, so we experimented with brown, orange and then shades of green, which eventually led to the final decision to use the unique and pretty chartreuse. I love, love, love the beautiful font used for their monogram.

I worked with a great printer, Poorvi at Calico Printing & Graphics, Inc. She creates beautiful custom invitations using pretty metallic paper stocks. She had the idea to round the corners which was a nice added touch.

I had fun taking this montage of pictures using my plant, a piece of palm tree and my watering can which just happened to match perfectly.

Holiday Card


This was a holiday card I designed for my boyfriend and me. We wanted to share our California adventures with our New Jersey family and friends. I'm so glad we decided to spend time here on our San Francisco trip. Muir Woods and the redwoods were just beautiful.

Baptism Reply Card


My sister Danielle ordered Baptism invitations, but needed a custom reply card with meal choices to match what she already had. I matched the pale pink color and thought to add a pretty angel image. Danielle printed these on a nice white textured paper.

WorkCare Save the Date


I designed this save the date for WorkCare's annual dinner event at the
American Industrial Hygiene Conference and Expo. I turned a picture of the old Denver restaurant into one color, which gave it that distressed look with the brick and tree elements. I also incorporated the font Rosewood that they have in their banner.
