Taking care of essentials

April 28, 2016 by Patricia

On a regular day, I spend almost 18 hours working. Yes, I spend that much time seated in front of my computer every work day.  That's how I'm able to work on 15-20 projects simultaneously.  Call me crazy. I'd agree with you too! The life of an entrepreneur is not a walk in the park.  Not if you … [Read more...] about Taking care of essentials

Grace and Gratitude

November 25, 2015 by Patricia

  There is always something to be thankful for. I know this to be true now more than ever. I recently had a serious health scare.  I didn't think I would make it to Christmas.  Every day for weeks on end I would wake up and think it was going to be my last day. That's how bad I felt.  I … [Read more...] about Grace and Gratitude

Lately, on Instagram

November 7, 2014 by Patricia

I have to admit that I'm having way too much fun over at Instagram, so you can find me there more often than here. I have to consciously tell myself that I'm supposed to blog, and not just Instagram everything. hahahah! My blog coach, Martine de Luna, is probably at her wits' end at my poor … [Read more...] about Lately, on Instagram

Cheer up, dress up

September 27, 2014 by Patricia

I was in my second year in college, and the day started just like any ordinary day. The corridors were full of students moving from one classroom to another, and my friends and I were hurrying to our English 102 class.  We just got in when we heard a commotion outside, so we rushed back out. … [Read more...] about Cheer up, dress up

THE WORD

September 23, 2014 by Patricia

  I haven't been able to get this quote out of my mind since I read it last week at Marie Forleo's Facebook page.  I do think that before you should concern yourself with SEO tricks or marketing, you should first try to be good at what you do.  Be an authority, create work that matters, make … [Read more...] about THE WORD

September

September 1, 2014 by Patricia

It's the first of September! Can you believe it?! That means Christmas is just around the corner! A huge part of me is starting to panic, but that doesn't mean I can't make time for fun and games! If you've been part of my community at Facebook, you would know that last Friday I did a contest … [Read more...] about September

Mondays

August 25, 2014 by Patricia

Mondays and I have a complicated relationship.  On the one hand, I'm feeling excited over what the week ahead might bring, and on the other hand, I'm feeling anxious over what the week ahead might bring. haha! Yes, I know what you're thinking.  And I agree with you. To maintain my sanity (or … [Read more...] about Mondays

Illustrations & Watercolors

April 15, 2014 by Patricia

This year, I vowed to find balance in my life.   I have been making sure that I set aside time to do what I love. I work on several projects at the same time, all the time, and I often feel like a browser with 97 tabs open. I'm not complaining though, I LOVE what I do, and I'm blessed to have a job … [Read more...] about Illustrations & Watercolors

Positioning is a decision.
You don’t wait to be selected by whoever inquires. You choose.
Choose who you want to work with, what you want to be known for, and how you want your business to be perceived.
That’s positioning.
A bold, dramatic, editorial-inspired brand identit A bold, dramatic, editorial-inspired brand identity for a psychology-informed company that is centered on people. 
The custom monogram forms the letters H and A, but if you look at it long enough, you'll notice the curves of the letter A forms a letter L - which stands for Lisa, the founder's name. 
We wanted the brand to look and feel premium but welcoming, as befits her years of experience and level of expertise.
The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: n The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: not serifs broadly, but a specific vintage register, letterforms with visible weight variation, a slightly worn edge, the sense that someone drew them by hand. 
The Ashcombe Hall has the gravity of a country house library, the kind of face you'd expect stamped in gold on a leather spine. Vintage Serenade moves looser, more lyrical, closer to something a calligrapher would have signed.
Design has swung this way before. When the Industrial Revolution made everything fast and identical, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement answered with ornament, with craft, with the visible mark of the maker. The clean grid had its long turn at the wheel. This particular kind of type, textured, hand-cut, carrying a sense of history in the strokes, is having its own.
The antiques returning to people's living rooms and this type returning to branding are doing the same work. Both are reminding us a skilled hand was involved.
The Victorians read morning glory as fleeting love The Victorians read morning glory as fleeting love. I read it as a flower that simply knows when to leave the party.
