I love getting peeks into other people's studios and design spaces! It's so inspiring for me to see how they have their desk set up to their personal workflow, what tools they use, the art on their walls, the style and feel of the room. When I look at my workspace I often wonder if messy & mis-matched could be my brand? My studio looks like Lisa Frank and a vintage European estate sale had a baby and it puked everywhere.

This first interview is with my friend, Amy Webber, from Sincerely Amy Designs! We actually go all the way back to 2008, when we went on a Cru summer project together! And being the small world it is, we also happened to be taking the same online calligraphy course at the exact same time! I love that we're on this small business, calligraphy journey together!

- Hand-lettered logo/brand work
- Wedding/event envelope, invitation & day-of design & lettering
- Hand-made wooden calligraphy nib holders

Read MoreAfter posting the shots of my Invitation Suite that I made for The Big Fake Wedding event in February, I got a lot of questions asking about how I made the outer envelopes.

Read MoreThis post is to outline some big business goals that I have in hopes that putting it out there will make me work harder to attain them and also to give you some resources I love.
My fears are that I'll have no direction or voice, that no one will care to listen to me and that it won't be helpful, but I'm moving forward despite those fears. My hopes are to share lettering, calligraphy & design tips with you. Show you my process for creating things. Inspire you & feature other creatives I admire.
Read MoreThis Big Fake Wedding took place at the Levine Science Museum in downtown Charlotte, NC. The inspiration for the event was all things dreamy, whimsical and candy-colored. This has been featured on RuffledBlog as well - check out their post to see lots more beautiful photos.
Read MoreEvery year Zach & I will go out for brunch or coffee and reflect on the past year. We'll ask each other questions and write down our answers, and then we'll look at our answers from the year before. It's nice to reflect and reminisce, while also work together towards our goals.
The past couple years I've illustrated my goals & resolutions, and this year I did the same. I also made a free download for you all to print out & write down your own memories & goals!
