It's been a long while since I've updated here! As you may have noticed, my running is a bit off. Well, it's like, super off. It's so off that I'm sleeping with my running gear on so that when I get up tomorrow morning it's the first thing I do! I've only logged 5 runs … Continue reading Hired by Amazon, Moving to Seattle, Learning Ruby/Rails, And Other Good Things

A Few Observations From Today
On my run: I ran the Miles for Melanoma 5K this morning in Fullerton. Along the run route they had volunteers hold signs of people whom have passed from cancer. It was also very nice to see families and teams working together to fundraise for a cause that was so close to them. The run … Continue reading A Few Observations From Today
The Quickest Brand Identity Project I’ve Ever Completed
I designed the logo, website, and a social media theme TODAY in 8 hours. Now, I usually can't pull these types of miracles for my clients, so don't expect it!

From the way I've been feeling as of late, it seemed eerily appropriate. I was once that young girl that felt … Continue reading Feeling Rather Tiny Today
Unleashing The Humble Artist Inside
For the most part I don't really consider myself an artist. I think it's because I'm jealous that real artists have talent. (Designers have talent too, I suppose. Just a different type of talent, a combinative talent of sorts.) Which then begs the question, what is the difference between art and design? I've entertained this … Continue reading Unleashing The Humble Artist Inside
The Creative Process for Creatives Can Get Pretty Creative
Whoever says being creative is a natural process is pretty much lying. Creativity takes lots of energy, guts, emotions, and work. I'm one of the lucky few. I'm paid to be creative. When that happens and I don't feel like I'm being creative enough, pandemonium ensues. (It's all inside of my head at least. See "guilt" … Continue reading The Creative Process for Creatives Can Get Pretty Creative
