Opera Alley Brochure

I recently had the pleasure of creating a brochure for Tacoma's Opera Alley. My good friend Nikki has a beautiful studio there where she offers one-on-one fitness training (called LeanBody Lifestyles). And she is amazing, by the way.

I was so excited for this project! And it was quite a fun one — lots of colors, lots of cool pictures. Below is the cover, I will post the final brochure when all the revisions are done. Thanks for the opportunity, Nikki!

A very rewarding logo design

"I am crying. Happy tears. I love it. I really love it. It's simple and it's me. I love it. Thank you."  - Daedre Perez


WOW!!! Does it get any better than that? I don't think so!


Logos are my favorite thing to design. They are a simple, visual representation of a person or company and what they do. And as you can tell from the quote above, it's very rewarding!


Daedre is a wonderful, energetic, lovin-life kind of gal that I met during my go at a triathlon last summer. She is a great photographer and is beginning a photography business. I just knew I had to create her logo for her! She said yes, so I went to town. We had this thing finalized within about three days (that's a pretty amazing feat). I love that she loves it. (below is one of her photos)

Going another direction

I began this blog earlier this year for reasons that weren't good enough. I jumped into the blogging world without really knowing why I was doing it. I thought it would be fun. Other friends were doing it. The marketing company I was using at the time told me to do it. But none of those reasons were good reasons because I'm not passionate about recipes, cooking or even food for that matter.

What I AM passionate about is graphic design. I love it. I'm pretty good at it. And it's interesting. Why not blog about that? So I felt all these ideas stirring inside my heart and my head and thought it was time to give this blog another go... in a new direction.

My new intention is to write about my latest projects and also give a shout out to who I'm working for. Should be fun. If I stick with it for more than a month, we'll know it was the right move.
