Patterns and Tired Eyes

​I have been trying to wrap up a very large project over the course of the last few days.  I've barely slept, have been glued to my computer, and have "watched" (more like had it playing on a loop in the background), more episodes of Kitchen Nightmares than I would care to admit.  But I have been working on some pretty fun things, and the project is coming to a close.  My eyes are so tired (I haven't really slept much in the past three days), and I am exhausted.  But happy.

​I was working on label/package designs for a tea company.  I made this cute pattern for their bubblegum kids tea.  Cute stuff.  Ok, I am going to bed!  Hopefully I can get back to my regular scheduled posts and get my portfolio up by Monday! Yay!

Hello friends! ​

So I've been super, super busy this past week (which is why I haven't been around).  I'm working on a HUGE project and as the deadline is fast approaching, I have been finding less and less time for personal ventures.  But that being said, I really missed blogging!  It was something I looked forward to every day, and was sort of a challenge - which is a good thing for me!  So here I am, back for more.  

I think today I am going to take some time to work on uploading my portfolio.  It's something that has needed to happen for a really long time (over a year now), and I've just accumulated SO MUCH WORK.  How do you guys stay on top of keeping your portfolio fresh?  I'm thinking I might try saving web-ready files, and uploading as soon as I complete a project so that I'm never in a situation like this, where it's such a daunting task, again.  I really want to put everything up, because I have worked on so many projects that I am proud of.. But I feel like this relaunch is a chance for me to really edit my portfolio down to projects that really display my strengths, and the kind of clients that I want to attract.  So that's what I am up to today.  Sifting through my projects and figuring out how to organize them in a way that represents me, my work, and the clients that I want to work with.

​Should be an interesting afternoon I guess!
