It’s National Donut Day! 🍩 Which flavor of donut is your favorite?

As I reflect on Women’s History Month, I was inspired to make a lettering piece dedicated to five trailblazing women who embody the quote "Because of you we can do more than dream." 💫 The silhouettes I featured in order: Madam C. J. Walker, Maria Tallchief, Kamala Harris, Patsy Mink & Jean Purdy.

As it's now January 16th, I can say that I've successfully rolled over half of last year's goals into this year and have yet to implode 🙂

January is already halfway over and that feels wrong

Bring it 2025! So far I've: - Organized a bunch of old papers & receipts - Prepped my e-Thank you cards to go out - Backed up my 2024 project files - Bought a planner

Part 2 of the story behind illustrating Love Letters: An Alphabet of Affirmations is now live! You'll even get to see some peaks at early sketches and explorations from the project! 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsHk...

Happy December! Don’t worry about your goals from this past January because it’s about to be January again 😉
