recent work // oh my veggies



I recently had the privilege of working with Kiersten of Oh My Veggies on a new look for her vegetarian inspired blog. My goals for this redesign were to keep everything clean and uncluttered while creating a bright design that incorporates pops of color and some custom watercolor images created by Kaitlin Kostus. It was important to Kiersten that her new theme was mobile responsive and had some customized features like category galleries, styled social sharing, and custom recipe styling. I also made a few tweaks to give her a split sidebar, custom footer, and some custom widgets. Run on over to ohmyveggies.com to check out her fresh clean look!

Thank you SO MUCH for everything. I can’t even put into words how happy I am with the redesign. I feel like you really got the quirkiness, the brightness, and the modern look I was going for.

recent work // malibu kitchen

Dori, from Malibu Kitchen, needed a header to fit her current theme that was beachy and retro. Using gritty watercolor images and a clean font, we ended up with this coastal combination.

recent work // kakers in wonderland

Kat, blogger at Kakers in Wonderland, needed a custom header to use with the Adorable child theme for the Genesis framework. This theme is the perfect fit for many bloggers out there and I have to give a little shout out to my designer colleague and friend, Lindsey Riel, for hitting this one out of the park. Need a cost-effective alternative to a custom-built design? Here’s your solution!

recent work // brunch at saks

Annemarie, of Brunch at Saks (a lifestyle blog that should be in everyone’s reader), was such a pleasure to work with! When announcing her new look, she compared her redesigned blog “home” to that of a Parisian townhouse. I just love having such stylish clients!

Thanks to fabulous designer, Shay Bocks, my home here at Brunch at Saks has undergone a gorgeous makeover, and I couldn’t be happier with my new digs. Shay was amazing to work with, and after nearly four years blogging I finally feel like I have a design that is perfectly “me”. Thank you, Shay!

Why don’t you show some love and head on over to Brunch at Saks for a quick peek? And maybe try out this recipe – it’s on my menu plan this week!

Recent Work // I am Not the Babysitter


As a happy attachment parent and extended-breastfeeding mom myself, I felt instantly connected to Jamie Lynne Grumet, TIME cover mom and the inspiration for some heated debate around our little US of A lately. But, while she became famous for her extended breastfeeding practices and promotion of what Dr. Sears calls attachment parenting (others may call it natural or peaceful parenting), her blog is mostly about her trans-racial family and the love they share. I feel so privileged to have had the honor of collaborating with Jamie to redesign her blog, I am Not the Babysitter. Contrary to the spin that the media put out, Jamie is an incredible person and I had fun getting to know her a bit through the process.

It was important to her that her readers came to her site and felt welcomed with a mix of informative and experienced-based content. She was looking for something fun, clean, and professional – with lots of pink to balance out her place as the only female in the family! I can relate! To keep up with Jamie and the issues she takes on, check out iamnotthebabysitter.com.

recent work // J’s Ink Tattoo Studio

My brother, Jimmy, is hosting the grand opening of his tattoo studio today in Bowie, TX. When he decided to take the plunge and become a business owner doing something that used his ah-mazing artistic talent, I was trilled for him. And then I was honored when he asked me to design his website. Jimmy didn’t need much – just a central place with information about the studio, a portfolio, a map, and a contact form. He wanted something gritty, grungy, and informative.




I’m wishing my Bubba luck today as his first clients roll in and the party gets going. And, hey, if you’re near Bowie, TX stop in and say hello. :)
