Nubbytwiglet.com is more than a blog; it’s a brand. Founded in 2003 and run full-time by graphic designer and online personality Nubby, it encompasses a world in which aesthetics rule supreme. With an eye for modern and avant garde nuances, she showcases a color-coordinated world that transforms the seemingly mundane into simple, everyday luxury.
As a graphic designer with a background in marketing, Nubby seeks to teach and inspire others through sharing her knowledge gained from working at multiple advertising agencies while running an online business.
With an obsession for aesthetic perfection in both her design projects and life, Nubby jokingly uses the motto Style Over Substance™ to sum up her existence. In reality though, she has to do a lot of thinking. With original columns and content taking front and center on her blog 5+ days a week as well as a thriving freelance design business, there is little time to sit back and relax. When relaxing does happen, shoe shopping tends to follow. Why the shoe obsession? Like most college kids, Nubby worked retail. At a shoe store. Selling shoes. She has a rather small size by American standards (6.5 or 7 / 37 Euro) so the sale racks have been very kind over the years.
But, back to design. During the last four years, Nubby has worked closely with a roster of clients that include Forever 21, Nike, Virgin Records, Skullcandy, Smith Optics, The Wall Street Journal, Adidas, Salomon Snow and many, many more. Logos, corporate identities, business cards, media kits, blog layouts and poster designs are a handful of the specialties of Nubbytwiglet.com.

Blog
The goal of my blog is to deliver inspiration and content related to art, design, business, fashion, and style. Feel free to leave feedback via comments and email. My goal is to balance fun content with articles that provide genuine value. Some of the most popular weekly columns are:
Our sartorial choices say a lot about who we are, where we came from and where we’re going. Color choices, patterns and textures all contribute to an overall vision of how we want to be perceived. I make no distinction between my art, my personal style of dress or my surroundings. They’re one big vision. Each week, I share a few of my favorite outfits and best of all, the label or origins of each piece!
Do you have a burning question? This is your chance to get answers on a variety of topics including art, design, fashion, business, style and anything else you can dream up! The question can be as simple as asking where I got a piece of clothing or what typeface I used for a project to something more in-depth about freelancing or running a business. This column is featured most Wednesdays and questions can be directed here.
The Decor Notebook is a collection of collages spanning five years. Images have been gathered from interior and decor magazines with the goal of injecting inspiration into your surroundings. The full set of collages can be viewed here.

Every Thursday, I whip up a list of links to the best design resources, inspiration and helpful articles from around the net. Do you have a tip or would you like to be featured? Email me!
Every Friday, I do my best to capture my surroundings and what it’s like being a designer and artist living and working in Portland, Oregon. New purchases, family gatherings and extensive travels all make their way into these posts.
It's all about the ears. Nubby Mouse in full effect.
