Thursday, July 31st, 20081. Sea of Shoes is my latest blog obsession. Jane, a teen in Texas manages to wear the latest designer offerings in a way that’s completely fresh and unstuffy. And, her shoe collection rivals those of women three times her age.

Ask Nubby #9: Rocking your Style with Confidence!
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
I was looking through your blog & I noticed how you were always dressed in something cute and you wore it with a certain flare & confidence. I’m just wondering how I can acquire some (any) confidence to wear some bold/cute/notice-me-I’m-not-just-a-piece-of-wallpaper ensemble.

As you’ve probably already guessed, feeling confident about your outer appearance comes from not […]

Logo Design: Daedalus Howell
Monday, July 28th, 2008A few months ago, I was contacted by Daedalus Howell, a man of many talents who seamlessly balances careers in writing, radio and producing / directing / acting in films. He was in need of a logo that summed up these various forays yet also managed to symbolize his name (which could be complicated to […]
The Week in Pictures: 7/25/08

Last Friday at the Nemo Design semi-annual meeting, someone had the brilliant idea to unveil pictures of the new employees in a mug shot format. As […]

Haus Beautiful: New Additions
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Today, I’d like to share a few of my favorite new house-related purchases. One of the places I religiously visit when I’m in New York is Fish’s Eddy, which has the best selection of dishes, both vintage relics from restaurants and airlines in addition to clever new offerings. This time, a small tray resembling a […]
Nemo Design Employee t-Shirts
Friday, July 18th, 2008Lately, I haven’t had a chance to share much of my design work since it’s been mostly freelance for my clients and work for Nemo (and their clients). But this week, I got a really fun assignment. One of my tasks was to come up with a t-shirt design for the Nemo employees that could […]
The Week in Pictures: 7/18/08
Friday, July 18th, 2008I landed at the Portland airport after my brief Phoenix stay late Sunday night. Once I arrived home, I promptly fell asleep, but my Virgo tendencies couldn’t rest. I was back up at 6 a.m. to unpack my suitcase and then get ready for work. Since then, I’ve been catching up on everything that I fell […]
Link Love: 7.17.08
Thursday, July 17th, 20081. In How to Earn Your First Love Dollar, Steve Pavlina makes the argument that all you need to do to move forward with your dream profession is to make that first dollar doing whatever it is that you love. He goes on to say that:
When you accept that first love dollar, you tell the universe, […]

How I Became a Twitter Addict (And Why You Should, Too!)
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008I’ll freely admit that I was a long standing Twitter holdout. With profiles on Facebook, Myspace, Flickr, Behance, Buzznet, Live Journal and my personal blog already clogging my schedule, the motivation for adding another social networking site to my list of engagements was definitely lacking. Months of being preached to about the positive virtues of […]

What I Wore: 7.10.08
Saturday, July 12th, 2008The night before I left New York, photographer Bianca Alexis did an epic photo shoot of Gala Darling and I on a West Village rooftop. She is the lighting master!
In the first set of photos, Gala and her 5 inch licorice strap platforms towered over me. I need some massive heels for next time!
Gala wore:
Hat from Urban Outfitters

Ask Nubby #8: Graphic Design & Business Resources
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008I’ve recently discovered, much to my dismay, that the degree program I’ve been taking from my local community college isn’t covering areas of graphic and web design I know are critical to being a viable businessperson in this industry. Upon further investigation, I’ve found some other community colleges that offer the classes/programs I need, but […]

Monday, July 7th, 2008The other night, I was in a mad rush to Gala’s place in the West Village, but thankfully Bianca stopped me in my tracks and shot me in the middle of 1st and St. Marks in the East Village. It was a pretty funny experience because she would wait till the light turned, have me […]
