At Pattern Bliss blog I'll be sharing my favorite surface pattern design inspirations, trends, a sneak peek my pattern designs, my favorite shoes, and, of course, cute dog pictures. Plus you'll get a glimpse of what goes on inside my studio in my sketchbook series.

March Meet the Maker Challenge

I am joining @joannehawker 's #marchmeetthemaker challenge. Day 4: Brand/Logo. #MarchMeetTheMaker .

What I love to create is always adapting to each new creative inspiration— with each new creative brief. I think the unifying elements are a sunny color palette, texture, surface designs, people and faces, hand lettering, typography, and motion graphics.

One of my favorite quotes for art and design is by Karen Walrond: "Comparison kills creativity. There is room for you. Nobody can do it with your voice, with your experience, with your insight.

I met Karen at BlogHer conference years ago. Her philosophy on what makes us different is what makes us beautiful is so inspiring. Check out her book: The Beauty of Different: Observations of a Confident Misfit
