updated: kcgiessen.com

and when i say "updated" i mean "re-designed". and there'll probably be another iteration of this in 6 months. cause that's what interactive designer-wives do for their sound designer-husbands, right? "design on a whim" was in our vows. c'est romantique, no?

i like this version better though. and kc's still building his portfolio, so lot's more amazing work to come. but he's super talented & i'm so proud of him.

check him out!

cole-gibadlo wedding invitations

i created these invitations for my bff's wedding in july. steph and her hubbie-to-be call each other "bug". so naturally their wedding invites feature (custom) illustrations of a grasshopper (him) and a lightning bug (her). they're getting married out on her parent's property at night under the stars. it's going to be ah-mazing and i'm so glad i get to be a part of it.

cat kimbro : promo shots

for one of our latest projects, kc and i teamed up and did some promo shots for the amazingly talented catherine kimbro. she's heading up to nashville for her spring break to present her newly recorded country demos.
kc & i are so passionate about making stuff together, and working as an stylist/photographer team is just ridiculously fun.

check out a couple more photos from the shoot here.
and treat yourself to catherine's voice here:http://www.myspace.com/catherinekimbro



(psssst: those are the cowboy boots i got married in!)

february + march inspiration

above is a snippet of my march inspiration folder. there are 415 items, so i couldn't show it all. but i'd say the main motifs running through the past couple of months are feminine colors: pink, light blue, and chartreuse; flowers & fauna; balloons and just an overall softness.

and since i posted january's inspiration, but not february's, here a screenshot of one of my feb folders
(already sorted, oops):

we're on design*sponge!

Yup that's our dining room table- on Design*Sponge! This is something of a personal achievement for me because I've been reading Grace's blog since I graduated high school. Waaaaay back in the day, things were different - I didn't have a thousand design blogs in my Google Reader, I read one. This one. (Also, she didn't post nearly as much and I would sometimes wait a whole day for a new post. omg.) And I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life beyond the summer.

As silly as it may sound, this blog inspired me to make a living being creative. And to have e-mails from Grace Bonney (omg!) saying such ridiculously nice things about some stupid stuff I made is just amazing.

coming may 2009

no updates recently 'cause i've been ridiculously busy. and a long way to go. whew.
