Dan Vis Builders, LLC

Dan is our neighbor, friend, and one of the amazing builders on our street. He asked me to design a logo for his company, and I was happy to help.

Here is the selection I provided as options. Do you have a favorite?

I am working on the business card design and when it is approved, I will add it here as well.

"SHEPHERD" — Sepia & Patterns Birth & Thank You Card

"SHEPHERD"

So, are these not two of the cutest little boys you have ever seen?! Perhaps I am a bit biased, but I'm allowed because I am their aunt! The newest addition to our family, Shepherd Christian Trotter, arrived 4 weeks early on August 28th. It is my privilege to design announcement/thank you cards in his honor.

Super Sweet 1st Birthday

Alli Claire is turning 1! Her mom had the super clever idea of printing a full picture on the backside of a 5 x 7 invitation. This way friends and family have a framable picture of the birthday girl!

Most of the designs I supplied Kelly with were loosely based on an adorable dress she is ordering for the birthday girl. I thought carrying over the cupcake and some of the patterns would tie the two together nicely.

Check back for coordinating thank you cards with a picture of Alli from her party!

Me.

I'm a mom, a wife, and a designer...and lots of other "titles" too. In 2004 I got my first design job in the book publishing industry. I began in marketing and transitioned to book cover designs. In 2006, I started my freelancing career which has allowed me to work continuously despite many moves and adding a wonderful baby boy to our family in 2008 and 2012.

In the past couple of years, I've branched out a bit to design customized stationery for friends and family. I love to create personalized pieces that make people smile, whether it is a party invitation, Christmas card, announcement or simple notecard.

In the spring of 2015 I was asked to create a collection of prints to be sold in my friend's children's boutique. This sparked my interest in gold foil as well as vinyl personalization and my office that once mainly held paper and envelopes has become the crafter's dream with all sorts of new toys to work with. This new adventure has been a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for me and my little business.
