Trusty Sidekick!

Your little superhero will love these awesome t-shirts, especially cool capes! Becky of trusty sidekick is a Sellwood mom who started this new trend in Portland. She hired me to design her logo, tags and postcards. Check out her etsy shop and you'll love everything you see. :)

Pink Dandy

Sweet and chic logo, banner and label designs are my specialty! This lovely shop, Pink Dandy, is one project that I'm very proud of. Janae of Pink Dandy keeps busy adding her new products very so often. She is also offering custom gift set, or if you ever need a particular fragrance or essential oil blend, she can make it for you. Isn't she sweet?

Birthday Wish

Tomorrow is my b-day and all I really wanted is a ticket back to Thailand! I miss my family and friends....


To raise $$$, right now I'm offering free shipping for a week everywhere in the world at my etsy shop. I'll have more stuff posted soon. Help make my wish come true :)

Prissy Parties!

Need a party package for your girl? Then check out this awesome party shop! I helped design a logo, graphics and invitation cards a few years back.

La-d-da Gift Shop

I just remembered this lovely store, www.la-d-da.com, who I designed postcards for. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it anywhere since the website led to "FATAL ERROR." sigh!

Fifi & Fido

A few years back, I created a whole package from logo, website, stationery to label designs and more for Fifi & Fido. Sadly (for me), Amanda sold her business last year. It was really fun working with her. Hopefully something like this would come my way again soon.

More Windows to Come....

Monsieur Wonder Kat

I've been trying to come up with a cat character for my collection since last week and so far this is what i have. He's kinda cheerful but moody at the same time... my cat hero, Monsieur Wonder Kat!

Lawn Greeting Signs

Here is one of my favorite projects, I've been illustrating these cute signs for Carrie of Sweet Greetings for quite awhile now. I really enjoy working with her. Check out her lawn greeting shop and if you're interested, you can own your lawn greeting business yourself.

ecards

here was where it all started, hipstercards.com. i illustrated tons of ecards for this site. it was a perfect job for a stay-at-home-mom like me, i loved it. then one day i thought why didn't i start my own card shop? and somehow i found out about etsy.com. unfortunately, hipstercards wasn't there anymore :( oh well, at least i have these samples still. enjoy.

The Venus Collection

Here is one of the designs I never get to see in personal. I created all these fun and colorful labels for this lady in Malibu. Check it out here. We lost contact for a few years now, not sure what happened. I also illustrated lots of greeting cards for her other online shop Solar Soul. Not all of them are mine, but I'm sure you can tell.

Broken Glass....Broken Heart....

Kaya's art window was stepped on by a lil' girl the other day. His heart ached from that since it's his very first window and he was so proud of it. Scratching off the paint from glass wasn't easy for a 7-year-old and it's almost finished. Anyway, he's already moved on today and will start on a new one soon. This time he'll definitely be more careful of where he put his window. Not laid flat on the floor like last time for sure. Go Kaya, can't wait to see your new creation!

CROQ zine

hey, look what i found at the library today! it's another one of those designs i created but never get to see it in personal. i should be better of keeping track of all the designs i've created. that what i will do from now on, tracking down everything i should get credit for. starts from tomorrow.... to be continued. anyway, check CROQ Zine out!

Holy Bike! and the Bridges.

Banner

Last weekend at Division Street Fair, I finally met one of my clients who I created a logo and banner for. Since I freelance at home with clients all over the countries, I never really get to see the finished products at all. I'm just happy to see how this banner turns out. Anyway, go to Bloom by Arissia and check out her shop, lots of fun stuff for the girls.

mini mirror

since the big mirror went so well, i wanted to try with a mini one. i was going to leave the frame gold, but i liked black better. well, it wasn't bad, but it definitely couldn't beat the first one.
