a simplewear design fit for a designer

a teacher, a work colleague and a friend.

that is what jess, of tamayo+kubota design, has been to me for the last 10 years. i was lucky enough to have jess as one of my design professors at cal state long beach and even more fortunate to have stayed in touch with her and become work colleagues and great friends over the years since i graduated back in 2002.

as a fellow graphic designer, i wanted to create a custom simplewear onesie for her soon-to-be little girl that is as simple and clever as her mommy’s design style. here is what i came up with…

now this little one can let the whole world know that she is a true original tamayo + kubota design.

i ♥ custom simplewear requests!

i think it’s great when people contact me requesting a simplewear design to use as a part of their baby’s birth announcement or even a fun way to tell your family that you are expecting. it’s nice to be a small part of such a great moment in someone else’s life.

here’s another custom design request from my simplewear Etsy shop this week.

want something more specific or personalized put on a baby onesie or kid t-shirt? email me or convo me through Etsy.

reuse, recycle

when i designed my 30th birthday invitations last year, i knew i wanted to turn the same design into milestone greeting cards. and so i’ve finally gotten around to reusing and recycling the art deco inspired design into 30th, 40th and 50th birthday specific greeting cards now available for purchase at my Etsy shop.

monkeying around

i recently had a request for a custom lil’ monkey simplewear baby onesie design with the personalization of the parent’s names.  here is how it turned out…


this design inspired a new set of twin onesies, “monkey see, monkey do,” now available for purchase at my etsy shop, simplewear.etsy.com

this design is also available in toddler size t-shirts, which also make for a great gift to give a newborn baby and their older sibling.  ’cause when one monkey sees, the other monkey does.
