It’s not often you get a bride that wants you to design a frankenstein-themed wedding announcement. This couple had planned an extravagant halloween engagement party and wanted the announcement to match. After all, there are the ghoul-est couple I know ;)

these were printed @ 4×9. Designed in adobe illustrator with hand-drawn typography.

well, hello!

this is a project i had the privilege of working on recently. miss danielle pritchard started a little company and needed a brand to go along with. owls have held a special place in my heart as of the past couple of years, so i was totally excited to incorporate an owl in this specific project.

here is a little bit of the work i’ve done and how it’s currently being used.

check out owlivia vanhootson here and you can even purchase some of the cute products on her etsy page.

thanks for reading!

ps- i was wearing this sweater in my last birthday photo, too! … but i was in germany. crazy how times change.

twenty-two was a really good year. it had some ups and downs but over all it was the jam. i traveled around europe, graduated college, lived in a new city, and most of all, grew as a person. it’s times like this that make you realize how far you’ve really come.

//edit//

here’s the “actual” birthday photo. the big 2-3.

i also ate some yummy mexican food with the rooms. nom.

roomies!

cheers to twenty-three!

thanks for all the birthday thoughts and wishes!

you guys make me glad.
