Photography is now available


I’m so excited to announce that Design Design is expanding to now offer photography! It has been a dream of mine to diversify the business by offering photography services in addition to invitation/announcement stationery design, and I’m happy to be making it a reality.

One of the greatest things about obtaining my BFA in Graphic Design from the Cleveland Institute of Art is that they encourage crossing mediums. In addition to design, I was able to study drawing, painting, fibers, and photography. At that time, the photography was black & white film that I developed myself in the dark room. I loved the experience and found it very creative and rewarding.

During the past ten years that I have worked as a Graphic Designer, I have worked with several photographers, styled and art directed hundreds of photo shoots, and edited countless photos for print and web. Editing has ranged from minor cosmetic to major changes – like totally changing a room! Now it’s my turn to get behind the lens and bring all the knowledge that I have learned from art directing and editing into creating photos.

I was the girl growing up always taking pictures of her friends, family, pets, and anyone else who would let me! When my babies were little I was obsessed with capturing every moment on my camera – down to the tiniest detail. I often look back at those photos and am so grateful for them. I love that photography captures a moment in time, and preserves it forever.

I am happy to now offer photography to capture your special moments - Weddings, Engagement, Family, Babies/Children… Please contact me for rates and to schedule a session.

Logo Design - J & E Tent Rental

I was thrilled to work with Emily from J & E Tent Rental in creating a new logo for her company. I was inspired by the beautiful photos on her site, and wanted to create a logo that communicated the same message. The final design communicates style & elegance that her tents can bring to an event: She has a huge selection of tents ranging from casual to elegant to accent any occasion. If you are planning an outdoor event in the Atlanta area, check out her website http://j-etentrental.com It is so rewarding to me to visually make a client’s ideas come to life. If you are eager to start that new project, turn to me for fresh creative design. 

Birthday Invitations

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...
