This has been one of the busiest weeks I’ve had in ages (and that’s saying a lot)! It started off nicely enough as I sipped my morning chai out of a vintage Mademoiselle mug Smokey found at an estate sale. He is always giving me the cutest presents (and they definitely make up for his [...]

I started out the week working on another ceramic red cross. It’s hanging out in the basement with three new pieces… Though, most of my free time at home was spent sitting at my desk. I graduate in less than three weeks so this week has been filled with late nights trying to get two [...]

   Friday was one of those magical nights that don’t happen very often but are worth the wait when they finally do! I had a really inspiring business meeting and can envision equal parts of art and branding (my two favorite things!) transpiring very soon. After I left, I was waiting at a bus stop [...]

There was a portfolio event at Portland’s world famous stationary and supplies store, Office and though I couldn’t make it, a fellow Nemo-ite was on the panel and so thoroughly described my persona without mentioning me by name that I’ve had three interactions with people bringing it up to me! Via Coroflot: The designer from [...]

Yesterday was the first barbeque of the season at Nemo Design but of course, it wasn’t typical. I walked outside to wait in line for my (vegetarian) hamburger and there was an off-road vehicle speeding out of the parking lot and down Belmont packed with employees. It turned out to be Nemo’s going away gift [...]

   A few weeks ago, I showed up to Nemo Design and noticed that a fair amount of the employees were wearing white…a lot of white. Seems I missed the memo that we were all going to be part of a shoot in the new white photo studio and the final portrait would be given [...]

     I thought I’d share my desk space at Nemo. Isn’t my wallpaper the best?! The best thing about our seating arrangements is that we all pretty much sit out in the open. Nobody is closed off in an office by themselves and I think it helps to create a high level of interaction.Also: I [...]

Today, Nemo Design threw a farewell bash for Judy, the first employee they ever hired. Of course, this wasn’t your typical ‘retirement party’….   Trevor presented Judy a handmade book composed of Nemo photos from throughout the years. It featured snapshots of smiling employees, injuries galore, and drunken moments.     Yes, her cake said “Jude the Dude!”     [...]

    I thought of wearing hearts and tons of red on Valentine’s Day, but then I thought that would be too stereotypical (since I wear that stuff normally) and wore a vintage sweater instead. Thanks to Todd @ Nemo for taking the photo! Sweater (T is for Twiglet!), Vintage Suspender skirt, F21 Tights (hard to [...]
