New Cards – Kind of a Big Deal
Today I added over 20 new cards and art prints to my shop. I have been working so crazy hard on these for the past two months and am stoked to finally have them up and ready to go.
This summer I had gone on a road trip with some friends to Waco, Texas. While we were shopping we stumbled upon an awesome boutique that carried beautiful cards from several designers I had seen online. Seeing their designs out in the real world lit a fire inside of me and kicked off a full card line inspired by that trip.
The blog serves as a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process behind each new release. From sketching initial concepts to refining color palettes and typographic layouts, every post offers a glimpse into how a graphic design studio transforms ideas into tangible printed pieces. Readers can follow along as new card lines and art prints come to life, with updates on the thinking that shapes each collection. It is a space for sharing the small victories and late-night breakthroughs that come with running a design business, all while staying true to a clean, high-contrast visual identity built on bold sans-serif type and flat color blocks.
Personal projects and side experiments also find a home here, revealing the playful side of a designer's practice. Whether it is a hand-drawn illustration of a cat, a clever greeting card concept, or a printable budget planner, the blog captures the range of work that happens beyond client commissions. These posts reflect a love for print design that is tactile, deliberate, and unapologetically graphic. The studio treats every piece as an opportunity to explore composition, texture, and the power of a well-chosen accent color against a stark black-and-white backdrop.
For those who appreciate the craft of printed matter, the blog offers practical insight into the life of a freelance designer working across the country. Topics touch on everything from managing production timelines to balancing creative passion with the realities of running a shop. There is an honest, straightforward tone that matches the utilitarian aesthetic of the studio's work—no fluff, just real talk about what goes into making something worth sending, framing, or keeping on a desk. It is a resource for fellow makers and anyone curious about the intersection of art and commerce.
