Desi Design Diva

I'm thrilled to show you two party invitations that were a delight to create!   I was so happy when I was contacted by Charkia to design her daughter's first birthday invitation using a carnival theme. I just adore the look of vintage circus posters and the fun bright colors blissfully whimsical. It was printed on pure white semi gloss cardstock with a glossy coating on the photo side. I think the end result is absolutely adorable, and will serve as a keepsake from the special day. Have you heard of Elegant 18 birthdays? I absolutely love the theme that Raquel is planning for her daughter Desiree (love that we share the same first name!) It's a red-carpet premier party! I had a lot of fun with wording on this custom design. You can't tell from this photo, but she opted to have it printed on pearlized glitter card stock, which adds another layer of star-studded quality to set the stage for the big event. Thank you Raquel and Happy Birthday...

I’m really excited to show this fun & fabulous new Frozen Birthday Invitation! Inspired by the movie, and custom designed for the Frozen fan. It was printed on pure white semi gloss cardstock. I think the end result is absolutely adorable!  

Earlier this fall I spent a wonderful afternoon with an adorable family. It was such a joy to photograph them again this year. Here are some of my favorites from our session. A big Thanks to Julie & Mark for inviting me to capture your special family moments!   

I’m so excited to share this Birthday Party email blast for Armana’s 35 th birthday getaway to Las Vegas! This is how a diva announces her birthday party. The caricature was created in her likeness to be fun & sassy, ready for a night of dancing. The invitation sets the tone for the fun & special weekend with her friends. Thanks Armana – have a great birthday and fabulous trip!

  This new invitation is quite special…being that it was designed for my good friend in celebration of her parent’s 40th wedding anniversary. She and her brother planned a fabulous SURPRISE party to celebrate this special occasion!   The invitation was inspired by the colors of their wedding, with a splash of ruby red to signify 40 wonderful years. The daisies from her mom’s bridal bouquet inspired the graphic pattern overlay. The overall look is so special and elegant. I adore the playful whimsical wedding getaway car featured on the back of the card. It’s the perfect way to set the tone for the huge party filled with family and friends.   I continued the invitation visuals on her photo table numbers. Each feature an amazing milestone year for the lovely couple and a photo. These are such a wonderful idea that my friend had to really take the party room on a tour down memory lane. Thank you Allison and congratulations to your mom and da...

Here is a wedding you are sure to be inspired by! Filled with so many personal touches, Cortney and Adam had a beautiful day in a picturesque setting. To continue the custom silver and navy lace theme of her wedding invitations, I was also asked to design programs, whimsical signs, personalized table numbers, and charming favor labels. Everything came together just beautifully and I am so very proud to be a part of this wedding! Adorable ceremony programs set the tone for the wonderful day. I loved the playful typography and how it paired with the traditional elements of the invitation. She had framed the engagement photos that I shot on a lovely table with a custom designed “Love story” sign, as well as a Social sign, encouraging guests to post photos of the big day with their own personal hashtag. Whimsical signs continued in the restroom, and the bar to showcase signature drinks, and finally at the favor table at the end of the night. ...

I was thrilled to hear that Sarah loved my sporty puppy baby shower invitation, inspired by the the Lambs & Ivy Bow Wow nursery collection, and thought it would be perfect for her baby shower. I illustrated a diva caricature of the beautiful blonde mom-to-be in her fabulous hot pink shoes. This is how a diva does sports! I love that this invitation remains feminine, while you still clearly understand that she is having a little boy. The theme and fonts are so fun & playful - setting the tone for an outstanding shower!     It was a pleasure to create this customized invitation for Sarah. Thank you so much and I hope you have a fabulous shower!
