Wedding Design: Wine and Beer Favor Tags

One of the trends I’ve noticed at weddings is to send your guests home with a little something to celebrate after the big day, with a bottle of wine or beer, custom pint glasses or wine stems. I created favor tags to complete the package. These editable templates are easy to personalize and can be made and assembled at home. Now available in my Etsy shop.

Branding: Sue’s Sewing and Embroidery

I’m always honored when people put their business ideas into my hands to create new design work. It’s especially exciting to me when it’s a creative business, launched by an individual, which is near and dear to me, running my own independent creative business. This case is no different, except I’ve seen years of exceptional projects come from this individual. Sue’s Sewing and Embroidery provides excellent work for sewing and custom machine embroidery projects, and would certainly be a great choice to create something special for you.

Wedding Decor: Table Numbers for wineries

Another piece of wedding decor, perfect for summer winery wedding season – coming up just around the corner! This design is available as a digital download in my Etsy shop, making it easy to add unique design to your wedding day. These table numbers are tall, standing out at your reception tables and fit the ambiance of a winery wedding perfectly.

Baby Shower Invitation: Woodland Creatures

I appreciate the creativity that go into baby showers, it’s such fun to bring an idea to life. For this invitation, I was asked to use woodland creatures and plaid. After working on a few designs, this one ended up being chosen. I’m really happy with how it turned out, so maybe it will end up in my Etsy shop soon?

Wedding Decor: Winery themed table numbers

Last fall, I attended and designed for my friends’ beautiful wedding in the California wine country. As I worked to bring their vision to life and created elements that fit their venue, I got thinking about how many weddings (at least in California) that take place at vineyards. So, I continued designing items for a winery wedding, starting with these table numbers, now available in my Etsy shop. This design is available as a digital download, making it easy for you to add custom design to your event.

Baby Shower Invitation & Decor: Winnie the Pooh

A good friend of mine is due with her first baby, so I was excited to get to throw a baby shower for her and her husband. She requested a classic Winnie the Pooh theme, which was fun to put a unique spin on for this special event. I focused on putting together a lot of little touches throughout the space and it was fun to put all the ideas together.

Photos from the event were kindly provided by Dorothy Tam, thanks so much!

Baby Announcement and Invitation: Baby Klay

After such a great maternity photoshoot with Turquoise and Brandon, they asked me to design some cards for them. First, baby announcement cards went into the mail, followed by and invitation to a baby shower. Both were fun items to work on and had such different ideas behind them.

Wedding Decor: Denise & Jared (St Helena, California)

I really enjoy being able to design for weddings beyond the invitation and work on all the little touches that personalize the wedding day itself. Once the wedding invitation was in the mail, there were a bunch of items to make for Denise and Jared’s winery wedding. It was quite the variety, from hand-lettered signage, to favor hang tags. My personal favorite was the bar signs, so much fun (and gold ink)!

Probably the best thing about working on this wedding was being able to make the day beautiful for my friends. I really enjoyed brainstorming with the bride and the groom and bringing back the finished pieces that fit right into their vision for their special day.

Wedding Invitation: Denise & Jared

I’d been hoping these two would tie the knot for some time now. When they were ready to walk down the aisle, I got to help make their wedding day extra special (and be a guest at their wedding). We started early, working together to build a custom wedding invitation set that tied into their St. Helena vineyard wedding. The final set was so much fun to put together!

I got to have some fun creating the wine glass stains from scratch with watercolors and combining a bunch of different elements the bride and groom liked to create one unique wedding set. My favorite little piece, requested by the bride, is the heart etched into the wine barrel illustration on the back side of the invitation card. So creative!

Branding: DataVisto

Launching a new business is exciting and I’m always honored to design a custom look and feel. For this data visualization company, I was given a color palette and direction to make a look that was “fresh and fun” while still being appropriate for the tech sector. After pencil sketches and a first round of options, one design stood out as the clear solution. Below are the three final versions.
