Patten and Nove, the first stages.

Patten has been a gem to work with. Not only has she taken the initiative to pull together her own paper samples, she has elected to design the look and feel of the invites and assemble the finished product.

Here are photos of the color scheme so far:

Holiday Event at Tamboril

I usually don't post such cheesiness, but its cheesy in a cute way.

I created a last minute holiday invite for a holiday party I'm putting together at Tamboril in Clinton Hill Brooklyn. We just wanted the folk we invite to look at it and smile (maybe laugh) when they saw it.

And for those of you that are curious, Tamboril is centered around a Nuevo Latino/Caribbean theme. Hence snowman on a tropical island. I'm sure i could've added a bit more dimension to the snowman, but we had a deadline to get the invites out.

Patten and Nove

Patten and Nove are getting married in March of '09 and asked me to create some mock-ups for them.

Map for a new housing development

My job has developed The Gates Cooperative, a green design (leed certified) apartment building in Bedford Stuyvesant. Our Housing Development Director just loves the maps I put together. so he asked me to create a community map of the development and surrounding schools and major transportation hubs. You can see The Gates Coops at its very website: www.thegatescoop.org

take a look at the map, and for a starting price bracket of 87k for a one bedroom, you cant beat that!

Branding for a Construction Company

You like?
It's for a woman owned and managed development/construction company...I think it speaks professional, yet sassy much like the owner ; )

catching up!

I have been neglecting my blog! I know, I know.

but here is something I should've posted a while back. I'd designed a map for Landra and Darren's wedding in Ocho Rios, Jamaica...which just so happens to be today! The map that i designed was then photo blogged by her photographer, Carmen (of Studio by Carmen)!

Landra had her invitations designed by Smashing Cards but asked me to design the map along with a welcome/rehearsal dinner invite. When Carmen received the invite in the mail she took this gorgeous flick and posted it to her blog:

maps!

Ive been busy working on Julie and Rob's invitations but had to post a map that I worked on a month ago at my office.

It is functional more than anything but it definitely does the job.
