Don't Overlook the Door Knobs

When sourcing locations, I’m not just looking for great light—which, let’s be clear, light is numero uno—but coming up in a close second are the details. Moulding, interesting wallpaper, great linens, expensive pillows (cheap pillows are zero fun to style), perfectly worn wood floors, window seats and door knobs. Door knobs??

Yeah, door knobs.

Because this shot would not have been the same without that adorable brass door knob mimicking the circles in Alyce’s quilt. Yay, details!

RECENT WORK: Patchwork Lab: Gemology

Publishing books is a sneaky business. By the time the book is released and ready to sell, the book team will have already spent nearly a year working on the project! That’s a whole year of working on something super-cool and not being able to share what I’m working on. That may explain the blog posts coming in fits and spurts—or maybe it’s because I get distracted and forget about posting. I am a xenial, afterall: half-analog/half-digital. That said, a really fun book has just reached the hands of the author, so I get to be digital today ;)

Patchwork Lab: Gemology by Andra Tsang Jackson for Lucky Spool was a pleasure to design. Her graphic paper-pieced gemstones and beautiful color sense give this book a sophistication that graphic designers like me dream of working with.
