These beauties went out into the world a couple weeks ago and I’m having to hold myself back from sharing more details of the suite. Now I get to focus on the day-of paper and it’s just been such a joy.

One of my favorite print combinations: foil, emboss and letterpress. These programs set the tone perfectly for Nera and Jim’s ceremony

Designing for Alair has been such a dream. I teamed up with to build a brand and website that reflects what her work is all about: skincare as ritual, science meeting nature, and beauty as something deeply lived, not performed.

From the earthy color palette to the refined typography and layered textures, every detail was chosen to echo the restorative, intelligent, and sensual experience she creates for her clients. The site had to feel like Alair itself: emergent, luminous, alimentative, and quietly confident.

I’m so excited to share that the new website officially launches October 6.

I’m packing up the original low country painting I created for Janie and Chris’ mural today and thought I would share some images of it in situ. So happy they will have this in their home to remember these precious moments!

Maybe the single biggest “aha” moments for me in all of my high school art classes was when my teacher Mr. Batley looked at my sculpture and said “this piece feels like a poem”. I think that’s the difference between design that feels kitsch and design that feels like art… it’s as much about what it’s suggesting and evoking as it is about what it’s saying.goff

Everyone has different priorities for their wedding and invitations might not be number one. But if you know someone who needs a little reframe on the power of an intentional invitation, share this with them!

My design approach comes down to this: define the essence of what I want to create; Choose textures that evoke that essence; Create imagery that expand on those textures. If designs are too literal, they are forgettable, which is why it’s important to do the deeper work of really articulating the core of the design.
