Someone got a wild hair...
It was definitely time for an update, to something more user-friendly and responsive. With all the work I do for others, I was continually kicking myself for neglecting our own very own roguevalleyrunners.com site. Glad I was able to make some time and something pretty lovely to look at. Enjoy!

Happy to launch a site facelift over at Medicine Mama's Apothecary.

We wanted to simplify and beautify the look, the same way these wonderful products do for the skin. We also needed to better organize the selection to help the customer experience.

I'm proud with the progress and can't wait to continue the trend.

For those looking dip their toes in the Facebook advertising pool …
You’ll first need a design look & feel that quickly captures and compels.

An easy tip for creating qualified boosted images, is to develop your layout based on the 20% text grid and only swap (not move or resize) elements for each new post. With a little visual creativity, you can keep your look fresh and spend less time doing it.

What's cool about using Multi-Product ads, is that you can include 3-5 images/links in one paid ad, thus increasing your odds of grabbing the readers attention.

Here are a few samples that I created for Propét USA, both of Multi-Products Ads and Boosted Posts.

When an especially lovely friend orders up a logo, you simply must create some that is equally, well, lovely. This one is for Jennifer Brian and her new (but not newest) baby, VedicMama.

This project is a little tricky to share. Still, I wanted to include these inside shots to honor the women (and man) that bravely share their stories of triumph over Breast Cancer. Each of these 39 stories not only includes details on diagnosis, tips, what to expect and photos of the surgical options available, they also beautifully showcase how each survivor held onto themselves through their battle.

Jumping around in order... because this project is so super exciting my energy just wants to go there. Here's a brand (and a man) that consistently proves that drive and passion get things done. Robert Goyen, CEO of Trail Racing Over Texas and now No Fine Print Clothing Co. hired EGD yet again (thanks a million), and this is what we made. If this is the first time you've heard of it, you can bet it won't be the last.

So, so, so thankful to be a part of this awesome brand! ... When Rob needs a logo, I jump (and with joy).

The inspiration is flowing, to share some of EGD's latest work...

A proper kickoff would be showcasing none other than, the one project this past year that has left me feeling the most inspired (to really let lose and live), the book Beauty After Breast Cancer.

It is 175 pages of life changing patient and survivor stories, along with stunning photography that is all together hopeful, playful and informative. This resource is invaluable!

My pride in designing this layout is beyond words.

Another year, another amazing WSER program collaboration. After 6 years as the (very honored) designer, I'm feeling like this is one may be the best yet. Now I know the odds must be like 1 in a million, but are there any racers out there who've received a WSER program for the last 6 consecutive years? If so, what's your take on the design evolution?
