Good Morning! My name is Rachel Victor and I am so excited to be introducing myself as part of the Sweet Baby Design team. I am a 27 year old graphic designer from Cleveland Ohio but have lived all over the place! I am originally from upstate NY where I was born and raised until moving to Erie PA where I received my Bachelor's Degree in Art with a concentration in graphic design. From there I lived and worked in Chicago IL as a designer, then Maui Hawaii where I…surfed and had a blast! (oh, and a short stint in North Carolina), I guess I took it seriously when people said experience and travel when you’re young! Seeing as my husband Chris is from Ohio, we moved back to Cleveland where we got married, bought a house and had a beautiful baby girl! I have been a graphic designer in Cleveland, OH for 3 years working for a full functioning ad agency where I specialized in print and web design. I decided to break off on my own in January of 09’ after having my daughter. I came across the freelance positions at Sweet Baby Designs and thought, “that would be a dream job”. I was thrilled when I received the news that I could be a part of it! Simply stated, I love what I do. Art has always been a huge part of my life and I consider myself lucky to enjoy my work. I am very excited to be designing for this company along side other very talented designers. My goal is to bring a unique, yet clean style to you and I hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays!
Here is a sample of what is to come from me January 1st...
Good morning, my name is Christine and I am so excited to join the team here at Sweet Baby Designs. It has been a dream of mine for quite awhile and that dream has come true. I started out paper scrapping just for fun before my oldest son was born almost 16 years ago and just kind of stopped when I discovered the digital world. I, like many of you, started out looking around the web for Birth Announcements and decided to try making one on my own and found out how much fun it is..I was hooked and have been scrapbooking digitally now for a little over 3 years. I have designed many cards and announcements for friends and family and now I get to share my love of designing with all of you.
I have been working pretty hard to make some Announcements and will give you a little peek into them, I hope you like them as much as I do and I thank you for taking the time to let me introduce myself, I am so proud to be a part of this wonderful team.
Here is wishing everyone a wonderful Holiday Season and a New Year filled with joy.
Hello fellow bloggers! My name is Karie and I'm also one of the new designers for SBD. I'm absolutely thrilled to be here doing what I love and working with such a great group of talented designers. Here's a little bit about me.
I started out in the design business about 10 years ago working in the catalog industry and moved on from there to a design firm doing anything and everything...high pressure, always different, and never boring! I left my job 2.5 years ago when my second child was born and have been freelancing in between diapers, mickey mouse clubhouse, and the general chaos of being a stay at home mom of three children under 6 (my youngest was born this past July).
Invitations and stationery are my most favorite projects to work on, so when my friend let me know SBD was looking for new designers, I jumped at the opportunity to apply and here I am! I really hope you like what I've come up with this month (online Jan1). I've had a blast working on these designs. Here's a little preview of what I've been working on.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season!
Thanks for visiting the SBD Blog today as we continue on with introductions of our new design team! I’m Daina (pernounced, “Day-na”) and I’m pleased to be a part of this dynamic and talented group of designers. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to bring you new and fabulous works of art – which will be unveiled January 1st!
My personal love for all things paper stemmed from a young age - a time before email and Facebook. I had pen-pals from all over the world, and the largest collection of Lisa Frank stationery imaginable! As a child, my dream was to become a postal carrier – oh all the different envelopes, ink saturated brochures and swanky oversized post cards that would run through my fingers each day! Often times now, as an adult, I find myself concealing an envious gaze when our mail is being delivered!
While attending college for my AAS in Advertising, I worked nights at our local city newspaper writing, of all things, obits! It was my foot in the door, and soon led to designing ads. Upon graduation of college, I became employed as the Marketing Coordinator for a local non-profit organization. There I gained invaluable experience, being solely responsible for all marketing developments. In the meantime, I was also busy creating my two beautiful masterpieces (my children!). And gradually, my husband and I decided that freelancing would be more appropriate for our situation.
Designing is an infatuation that I cannot explain – I can’t get enough! As a graphic artist, I am zealous about bringing my sleek and contemporary style to the Sweet Baby Designs table! I look forward to seeing you in January!
Hey everyone!
We hope you had a great weekend! I'll be announcing our $25 gift certificate winner shortly, but in the meantime:
