Hello! It’s been a while. I took an unintended break for the past six weeks (or so) to work on some custom embroidery orders for the holidays. They all went out (and were received—whew!) on time, but after that much stitching, I really needed a break with as few obligations as possible. The first full week of the new year seems like a great time to return, so here I am.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
