Colon Cancer warrior
My friend Chalet is a real badass. She owns and operates her own salon, she is always going on wild adventures out in nature, she has a 17 year old pup that she brings everywhere, and she is in the process of kicking colon cancer’s butt. I was so excited when she reached out to me for a design for a fundraiser, a tee shirt to raise awareness for colon cancer, all proceeds going towards cancer research.
Feline photography
Did I mention I’m an avid cat photographer? These are all photos I took to advertise kitties at my local shelter. Please ignore the horrible white balance and enjoy some cute cat photos!
Plant painting
I am a member of several Facebook groups dedicated to succulents, because I am a shameless plant nerd. After getting a shiny new watercolor set, I asked the members of one group to send me photos of their plants so that I might practice painting them. Here is a selection of the weird and wonderful succulents I ended up recreating.
Succulent shelf
Well I basically just built a bar cart upside down and glued paint trays underneath to collect the runoff water, but it’s probably one of my favorite DIY’s to date. I’m just glad I don’t have to move my plants to the sink every time I water them.
Letterpress Side Table
Graphic designers love printer drawers, and I am no exception. I built a side table from scratch to house my letterpress drawer, where I display the miniatures I’ve collected over the years.
Pet ID
Never doubt the power of the humble Shrinky Dink. My cat Rose is now 16, which means it was time for her to get a license…
Doodle Stickers
At the end of my college career I took all the doodles from my notes and turned them into stickers, which I gave to my friends and professors.
Tiny House Design
I spend a lot of time thinking about tiny houses, so naturally I taught myself how to use SketchUp so that I could bring my ideas to life!
Refinished Vanity
My sister inherited a vintage vanity that was in pretty rough shape, so I offered to refinish it for her. After much sanding, painting, staining, and polishing, it looks brand new!
