  • Share and Share Alike: The Internet Came to My Rescue

    The internet came to my rescue not once, but twice recently. It never fails to blow my mind how sometimes you can just put out to the world a small thing you need help with and boom. Good people come forward to lend a hand. Crisis 1: My pencil sharpener. I was working on a…

  • It’s That Tax Time Again…

    Don’t forget to file your State of California Sales Tax, guys! One major benefit to focusing on freelance graphic design last year? I only had 4 transactions that had to collect sales tax. Filing my taxes took 5 minutes! Okay, 10 minutes. It took me just a tiny bit to remember where the helpful sales tax…

  • HeartSpace Logo Design

    I recently finished up a logo design project for HeartSpace Horse Guided Education, check it out: We started with one concept and ended with another on this design, and I am so happy with how it turned out. Collaborating with Melanie was great! She’s located in the Portland, Oregon area, so communication was key in rocking…

  • Time for a Thrift Store Photo Extravaganza!

    Josh and I found ourselves at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore thrift store in Las Cruces, New Mexico, over the holidays. I seriously can’t believe all the good stuff we saw! I’m a big-time browser, so none of this actually came home with me… I just wanted to preserve the magic and share some of it with y’all!…

  • Wrappin’ Up 2011 and Getting Ready for 2012

    It really has been a whirlwind year, guys. Just yesterday, we were making the hours long trek home from Phil’s first xmas in New Mexico . Today we trek home again from his second New Mex Christmas with Grandma. It blows my mind how fast time has passed, how much has happened in the last…

  • Show and Tell: Custom Blog Graphics and Downloadable for CAbi

    I do blog layout work on a regular basis for CAbi’s shopping and style blog CAbi Canary, and I wanted to share the New Year’s Eve Party edition! This blog edition featured the usual layout and photo montage work, but has an extra zing here and there in the form of custom map and note…

  • Show and Tell: Blog Tweaks for Cupcakes and Cutlery

    Kristin Ausk of the ever-delicious Meringue Bake Shop recommended me to her friend Sharon Garofalow of Cupcakes and Cutlery for some graphic design support last month. Sharon had started a website redesign recently. She hit a point where she liked where her new blog header was headed (you see what I did there?), but wasn’t entirely sure…

  • Show and Tell: Nature Skull Tee at Kohl’s

    We don’t always hear where our tee designs end up when working on projects for clients, so it’s always super fun to run across a design unexpectedly! Visit Kohl’s now and you can pick up this Nature Skull tee we worked on: This design for the Mudd brand features lots of vector silhouettes of birds and forest…

  • Google Analytics: How Y’all Got Here

    It’s always fun to fire up Google Analytics to find out how people are finding this site. One time, someone got here by typing “laser schwing”. Which of course is awesome. Here’s 10 keyword searches that brought folks to good ol’ Hearts and Laserbeams in November: 1) A whopping 20 people have come to my…

  • Tutorial: Command Hook Curtains for Oddly Sized Windows

    Last September, when Phil came home from the hospital and we were nursing, we’d spend a lot of time on the couch opposite our front door. Feedings in the early evening were kind of irritating, because the sun was juuuuust low enough to laser blast you right in the eyes through these slim little windows…
