Carrots & Cake Feature: Peter & Samantha's New York Wedding

I'm thrilled to announce that the Lafayette wedding invitation suite has been featured over on Carrots & Cake! The Lafayette Suite was a custom design for this awesome couple who quickly became my favorite clients of 2017. Sometimes dream clients walk into your life and you just jump for damn designer joy. Samantha came to me with the chillest of the chill vibes and the taste to boot. With a wedding reception taking place at Lafayette down in NoLIta NYC, she had dreams to mimic the richness of the evening with moody-hued paper and copper accents. Could I do it?--Hell yes I could.

Winter is Coming

Here it comes. Winter.

I've been preparing for everything Winter early this year just because my baby bundle is expected to arrive smack dap in the middle of the Holiday Season. As a seasoned Mother of two, I've learned a few things things: ONE, you are never prepared for what is to come and TWO, it's always best to be as prepared as possible! HA! 

ANYWAY! Here is a gorgeous winter graphic bundle that I spotted for you this week.

I'm already done designing my Christmas Cards for this year, but I'm considering using some elements here for a few design concepts I have in the works. Download the bundle here. XO!

Frostbound - by OpiaDesigns

"Grounded tones of juniper, combined with cold greys, hints of marsala and burnt sienna, to complete the colour palette. This is a subtile and delicate winter interpretation and it speaks of the first snow, misty and windy nights, quivering animals and heavy skies; simple, yet suggestive. The pack contains a lot of pre-made graphics, but also a big variety of individual elements." 

Styled Shoot - Tribeca Rooftop

Happy October friends! Last month, I was lucky enough to be asked to participate in a gorgeous styled photoshoot that took place at the oh-so-trendy Tribeca Rooftop in NYC. Featured here is the Brooklyn Suite.

Tuesday Type - Brooklyn →

Brooklyn is a stunning all-caps sans serif that comes in two beautiful weights to complement every project you're working on. Resembling a cross between Futura and Gotham, Brooklyn will very easily become a staple in your type kit. Use to create beautiful headings, gorgeous invitations, stunning logos, and so much more!! I think Brooklyn looks best with wide-set spacing (headers on sample images feature spacing set around 500). You can recreate the spacing in the sample bar below by including spaces between each of your letters.

Purchase Brooklyn for only $15 here. You're welcome!

Tuesday Type - Hullist

Tuesdays are for type! This week, I'm sharing Hullist. As much as I love (no, ADORE!) my calligraphers, sometimes you have a client on a strict budget. When you need an awesome-slash-funky handwritten typeface in a pinch, I turn to Hullist. 

She's a classic handwritten font, with a modern script style. I always love finding a handwritten typeface that has a certain edge to it. You'll find this with Hilliest. AND at a great price of only $12 on Creative Market. Enjoy!
