Go Forth Creative

I won’t forget the bright blue exterior; the [extremely] cozy 420 square feet; the sound of my landlord yelling “GGOOAALL!!” through the wall; the old scout SUV parked in the driveway; the grid of photos on the fridge; the day Cameron moved in; Onyx [our cat] escaping through the front door; Onyx escaping through the bedroom window; Onyx escaping through the living room window; the humming of the A/C unit; the day Alice [our dog] moved in; the 4×4′ shower; living on the street “French Place”.

Yesterday The Ruby website launched! In case you’re not familiar with The Ruby, it’s a lady group I co-founded in Austin—bringing together creatives, making connections and enjoying a cocktail after a long day of work.

Now, it’s only a one-page site but never the less, it’s still a hurdle Ana, Candice and I have been wanting to jump for over a year. And I’m pleased with the end result!

For years, I’ve followed Alyson Fox’s artistic career—admiring her creations and impeccable eye from afar. A few weeks ago, I finally got the opportunity to spend some time with Alyson [and her pup Stache] and photograph her for an artist series on Camille Styles’ blog.

Oh! Fox is one of my proudest brands to date. Candice, the talent behind Oh! Fox, allows me a lot of creative freedom, which is always exciting for a designer—and typically results in her/his best work.

If you aren’t familiar with the past work I’ve done for Oh! Fox, have a look here. We initially designed the merchandise tags to double as business cards but Candice was craving a letterpressed card—and I’ll never discourage letterpress.
