I recently realized that my introduction to the wonderful world of graphic design began in my childhood, creating hand-crafted cards and invitations for friends and family. To this day, invitations are my favorite designs to create. My process starts with reflection on the unique characteristics of the person being honored or occasion being celebrated. Humor typically informs my approach to this storytelling-of-sorts. Ultimately, I aspire to create something unique and joyful with each deeply personal design. Here is a selection of some of my favorite invites from the last year.
