A Brand Rep {short for Brand Representative} is someone who represents a brand on Instagram or other specified social media. Usually it's an upcoming brand or a small to mid-sized store that will choose either an Interior Designer, Stylist or Staging Professional based on their particular style of photography and the look the brand wants to promote.
DISCOVERY Women's Conference
I was a then full-time Art Director for a good-sized church in Huntington Beach, CA when I was asked to be on the Planning Committee for a first time, on-campus Women's Conference. Before I said yes, I had to make sure they understood that I'm very into details. We started planning a good 6 months out with the team, however, since I worked 2 offices over from the Women's Director, we basically started the day after the previous year's retreat.
Nate's Memorial Highlight Video
I really like that Facebook enabled "memories" to pop up from past posts into your current feed. Nate's Memorial Highlight Video just came up the other day and I must have watched it 20x already. I miss that boy so much and can't help but wonder what he would be doing with his life today. Something major, for sure. I can also envision him in Heaven, happy and probably has a whole tribe of friends and family he takes care of and runs around with. I'm sure they would be all vary in ages because that's how Nate rolled & that warms my heart.
Christmas in June
It's that time of the year again when Minted uncovers design genius through their Holiday Card Design Challenges. Who doesn't love a challenge? I try to participate in these challenges when my schedule allows. This year I submitted five designs into the {non-foil-pressed} No Business Like Snow Business and one into the {foil-pressed} No Business Like Snow Business.
Branding Your Wedding
Putting together a look and feel for a wedding is not very far from putting together the look and feel for a brand. Wedding branding is meant to evoke a feeling for the overall theme and is an important step in the early stages of planning. Along with design elements, a brand will encompass personality, this helps to keep a consistent theme going throughout the entire planning process from paper products to favors. Wedding branding is typically created by a professional graphic designer, however if you’re on a tight budget, it certainly can be accomplished by yourself.
Rebranding the Coffee Shop: A Designer’s POV
Rebranding a coffee shop isn’t just about getting the look right, or serving {what we think} is the best coffee in town. Every element of the brand experience plays a part, how the brand identity comes to life in the space, the graphics on the walls and menu boards, even down to the uniforms. It’s about creating an experience that makes people feel good.
