Custom Design Gallery

The Covered Porch — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:33:07 +0000

I've added a new gallery to the site...it's a sampling of the custom work that I've done over the years. Custom work is actually the bulk of what I do. My scope of work includes logos, newsletters, invitations, posters, programs, event displays, banners, cards, merchandise tags, blog banners, monograms, production work and much more.

New Notepad Designs for Children

The Covered Porch — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:59:54 +0000

I've just added notepads for children to the lineup. I wanted to create something for kids of all ages that has a vintage feel to it....nothing too high-gloss, but rather classic and personalized. These notepads are perfectly kid-sized for trips in the car, notes to friends and doodles. Measuring 4"X6", they'll fit in pockets, totes and even your purse.

I created this design for Sara, calling to mind coastal colors with a classic touch. She's a Savannah gal living in Atlanta, so putting the two elements together seemed like the way to go.

Bench Makeover

The Covered Porch — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:45:02 +0000

I really enjoy reupholstering furniture, but I am by no means a pro at it. I've completed quite a few projects, sometimes with the help of my friend, the uber-talented artist Jennifer Friedman. Being the creative sorts that we are, sometimes we eyeball things a bit, sometimes we measure, and sometimes we just have to start over.
