Don’t forget- the time changes this weekend!
In 2010 I will…

Ah! Another year over and onto the next one. For me, January 1st always brings a feeling of anticipation and excitement. Will this year be awesome? What will I accomplish? Where will I be 365 days from now? Of course, it’s not fun to know the answers to those questions, but I’ve always thought that it’s good to set some goals for the new year (whether they’re big or small).
I’ve created a “Resolution Generator” – a collection of goals contributed by family and friends and from various sources on the world wide web. Clicking the “gimme more” button generates random goals from the overall collection.
If you’d like to contribute some of your goals, please feel free to message me. I’d love to hear from you!!
Baking + Making

It’s been a while since I’ve baked aggressively, so I was really excited when my mom suggested that we make our gifts for the holiday season. We also thought it’d be nice to customize our labels – so I designed the packages for our homemade goods. It’s been fun looking through our cook books and deciding which recipes to take on.

Recently, I’ve started a new project– drawing the alphabet. Above are some of my sketches.
Design Ignites Change.

This past spring, during my last semester of college, I participated in Design Ignites Change–an initiative developed by WorldStudio and Adobe Youth Voices to encourage high school and college students to use design to create messages and solutions to promote positive social change.
I had the opportunity to work with and mentor Rudy Marron, a talented high school student who went to the Paseo Academy in Kansas City, MO. The particular project we worked on required us to design a billboard to promote tolerance within the community. Rudy illustrated a luchador knocking down the words “Don’t tolerate stereotypes”. He wanted to encourage people to not let themselves be defined by negative stereotypes and to rise above those pre-concieved notions.
This fall, the billboard that we worked on for a semester finally went up. It’s 14 feet high and 48 feet wide. It’s really great to know that Rudy’s positive message is out there for everyone to see.
