Spring Greetings Cards (The New Holiday Card)

It took me 3 months to get my holiday cards out, but it was well worth it. I designed our holiday cards as spring greetings that were eco-friendly through their 100% recycled content with soy ink printing. And most importantly, they were heartfelt - so it didn't really matter how late they were.

Stylish 70th Birthday Invitations

If you Google "70th birthday invitations" - or even "stylish 70th birthday invitations" - you get some scary, and not so stylish, results. That's why I absolutely loved designing these super stylish 70th birthday invitations. The colorways and typesetting are modern and fun - perfectly fitting for the client.

Awesomely Fun Website Makeover

I had so much fun giving this UNCG website a major makeover. Not only did the project come together beautifully and in just the way that the client envisioned, but the client was awesome. She made me want to do more web design.

Give Cool - Not Goofy - Corporate Gifts

Seriously, do employees need another company logo paper weight or inspirational calendar? Whenever my husband comes home with those sorts of things around the holidays, we collectively shake our heads in dismay.

Given that they know about a million or so product vendors, I was honored that the ladies behind The Parent Bloggers Network wanted me to produce holiday gift certificates for their writers. I worked up some cute custom corporate gift certificates for them. And their writers felt the love; the response was wonderful.

Featured on Cookie!


I was honored to receive another major press mention, this time from Cookie Magazine. Not only was it wonderful to be included in the company of a truly lovely array of thank you card designs (congrats to all of the other fantastic designers!), but my slide also was featured on the main gear + shopping landing page (screenshot shown). Super fun!

Posh Peacock is on slide 4 of Elena North-Kelly's thank you card roundup.

Featured on Brides.com!

As an independent designer with zero PR budget and pretty much zero time to try to cold call with samples, it's immensely gratifying when a major media outlet finds and features my work.

I was honored that Kim Forrest, assistant editor at Brides.com (the web presence of the major print magazine), featured one of my collegiate inspired custom wedding projects.

Kind Words from Employmoms

My work at Boston Mamas and Posh Peacock has proven to intersect in unexpected and fun ways.

A couple of weeks ago I was chatting with Jane Seibel of Employmoms - I had connected with her at the recent Detours & OnRamps forum. We were talking about Boston Mamas and then Posh Peacock came up. And then all of a sudden we were talking about her design needs.

Jane needed a web button designed; something I love doing but don't do that often (clearly I need to promote myself more in this vein!). The project is still under wraps so I'll show the button here once Jane's project is live. Meanwhile, you can read her very kind testimonial here.
