So I recently got a hold of my hard drive that has ALL of my projects on it from college. My ex-boyfriend had it because he was trying to fix it for me, but didn’t succeed. Well, maybe he did because I got it to work again.

I had sent in an entry for the Diary 2010 Project a while back and I got an e-mail a few days ago from the organizer asking if anybody would like to do a 2nd page.
So, in the spirit of recent events and my latest re-surfaced obsession, I snagged [...]
I’m so excited about this!
My co-worker, Tory, asked me late this afternoon if I could possibly help her with her sister’s wedding shower invitations.

I almost forgot that I’m participating in this rather cool project — the diary 2010 project. There are still plenty of pages open if anybody wants to sign up for one! It’s trilingual, which is kind of cool.
Basically it’s a bunch of artists/craftsters/designers/doodlers getting together and creating a sketchbook/journal/diary page by [...]
I’m in the middle of a rebrand for all my design stuff…including my etsy store.
Here’s what I came up with so far. I’ve printed my business cards, but that’s it. I need to redo this website and the etsy store.
Let me know what you think!

I recently was scouring the internets for a font that had alternate characters and some cool ligatures….
I found: Aphrodite Pro.
Gorgeous. That is all.
After my rant yesterday and after consulting my most respected design peeps, I decided to add some REAL graphic design offerings to my etsy store.
I’ve had an etsy store for a while, but I’ve basically used it to list things I’ve made that I really don’t want lying [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
