When I was little, I had a big wooden puzzle map of the US. Every time I picked up a state I couldn't help but turn it into something else. Like Oklahoma...? A frying pan obviously. The square states to the West are a different story. Unfortunately those were just squares. But here are some of my interpretations. More to come!

So, a little while ago my coworker asked me to make a circus themed baby shower invite for her sister. She trusted me and gave me complete freedom, which is the recipe for a happy designer. The invite came out exactly as I hoped! Anyways, it turned out that this baby shower was in need of a cake as well. So my very talented friend, Ryan, used my invite as inspiration and created this masterpiece! I think he did a great job incorporating my colors and design elements. I had a leftover slice at work the next day, and it was so very tasty.

This was my submission to Anthropologie's new tumblr. It shows pictures of my grandparent's house, which was a very special place to me growing up. You can see more entries by some very insightful contributors right here.

Lots of new personal projects to share. Including this Humpty Dumpty (and friends) pattern.

Duck watching season is upon us! This weekend why don't you go to your nearest pond and make some feathered friends.
