Color has a huge impact on me. I’m pretty certain that I am a tetrachromat. I often find myself mixing interesting colors in my head. I even associate people with certain colors. Needless to say, Pantone® is a part of my everyday life – both professionally and personally. Pantone’s tagline, “The color of ideas,” is […]
Two of the most recognizable logos in N. America have announced drastic facelifts. First up is Pepsi. The new Pepsi logo will be skewed in order to resemble a smile: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Pepsi Max will have different variations of the smile.

Sigh. I really, really wanted to be in LA this week for SIGGRAPH 2008, but I had to design a few crappy fliers, organize some gifts, and send those over instead. News from SIGGRAPH has been all over my Google Reader these past couple of days, and it’s only day 2! You can check out […]
Earlier this week, I read about the TwitSig mug. Using the TwitSig website, you create your own Twitter image, upload it to Zazzle, and viola! You get your own Twitter mug! (image from the TwitSig Zazzle page) I immediately knew that I needed to get a mug for J, who is one of the most […]

So here is my choice of the top 5 best designs from Star Wars and the inspiration behind each design. 1. Leia’s Bikini Leia’s gold […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
