as a freelance graphic designer, you rely greatly on referrals.  lucky for me, i’ve met some pretty awesome people over the years and they in return they have referred me to even more awesome people.

after working via email and phone for the past half year, i finally got a chance to meet jana, of jana williams photography, in person.  besides being a sweet southern gal with a killer sense of style, jana is also as beautiful, inside and out, as the pictures she takes!  you may have even seen some of her work, as she’s been published in lots of magazines, such as elle, c magazine, inside weddings and bello to name a few.  she even got the cover of style me pretty’s: best of 2012 magazine recently!

after discussing her ideas on the new direction she is hoping to achieve with her new blog site, i immediately knew it was going to be a fun project.  plus, i got to work with mind’s eye design studio again for all the web programming stuff.  it was a win, win situation for me!

here’s a look at the new jana williams photography blog: janafromalabama.com.

C H E E R S… and i’ll see you in 2013!

bent on fine wine

one of my favorite things about being a freelance graphic designer is the different opportunities and people i get to work with.  one day i can be working on marketing collateral for back-to-school kid’s school uniforms, next day photo retouching models in bikinis and once in a blue moon, i get the rare opportunity to work with a subject matter i enjoy on a regular basis… wine!

mind’s eye design studio and i are very excited to be collaborating once again on a new website project for Bent On Fine Wine. They are purveyors of fine wine from around the world and we will be helping them establish their online presence.

here’s a quick look into Bent On Fine Wine’s beautifully crafted cellar.

rows and rows of domestic and imported wines just waiting to be opened and shared.

this is a project where sipping on a glass of wine will most definitely be used for some creative inspiration.  stay tuned for updates on the website project.  cheers!

welcome to our new home…

i’m so delighted that you’ve come to visit me at my blog’s new home.  it’s been a month long process, but i’ve finally settled into the new layout and am ready to be back online and blogging again.

if you haven’t already, feel free to kick off your shoes, get comfy and browse through the new website.  as you can see, i’ve updated the look of the entire site, added galleries with much larger images, a testimonials section and what i hope is a more user friendly navigation site. as always, i’d love to hear any comments and/or suggestions you may have.

a special thanks to the boyfriend and web guru himself, tee of mind’s eye design studio, for helping me build this new fabulous and super cute site, for being patient as i threw out more demands than hours in a day, and for being understanding of my “control issues.” 🙂  you’re the best and i’m grateful for you! ♥
