Grecian Wedding Logo & Stationery

This past weekend was a whirl wind of fun. We spent it in Atlanta celebrating my cousin's big fat Greek wedding the  nuptials of my cousin Stacy and her new husband, Michael.  The whole weekend was an indulgent Grecian celebration.  This is the wedding logo I created for Stacy and Michael that was used on everything from the wedding invites (I designed as seen above), to guest goodie bags,  to the gobo that was used to light up the walls and dance floor at the reception.

Click through for the initial sketch that Stacy sent me & to see how it evolved.

Congrats Stacy and Michael! I love you both!

A Glossy Photo for the Books

Believe it or not I'm not always cooking & blogging, although I do my fair share of both (obviously).  The root of this blog lies in my love for graphic design - yes I'm an arty nerd but I didn't have to tell you that.

I've been designing graphics professionally since I graduated college (go Gamecocks!).  I remember my first computer that I bought from my sister's friend. It was used but it had all of the programs that I needed & it was a proud day in my life that I could afford my very own computer by saving my hard earned pennies.  Many (graphic & non-graphic related) jobs & computers later I still have to pinch myself that I get to do something creative every day as the art director at Shobha.

My latest pinch-me moment can be seen in this month's InStyle Magazine.  Instyle featured one of our colorful salons in its glossy pages & the photo that they chose to illustrate our salon was a photo I took.   I still can't believe that a photo I took now lives on one of the glossy pages of InStyle Magazine. #pinchmeplease

Wedding Stationery for Hely & Tim

Today an amazing couple, Hely & Tim,  will be tying the knot in Hawaii (or as I like to think of it - heaven on earth).  I'm sad that I couldn't make the trip but elated to have been part of the wedding process by helping to create Hely & Tim's art deco vision for the invites for their special day!  I can not wait to see the photos & hear all about it.

Congratulations Hely & Tim wishing you nothing but the best laughter & smiles till the end of time.  Love you guys! Cheers!
