Summer Hues

Inspired by a trip to Dubai and blissed out by California weather these pieces were created on a sunny Saturday morning

Tassel hamsa ring is a unique piece inspired from authentic middle eastern heritage paired with handmade tassels which adds brightness and individuality to this fun ring

Hamsa (Khamsa kaf) is a palm shaped symbol that originated in the Middle East and North Africa that protects you from the evil eye and represents strength and power

Aladdin Shoes & Maharaja Jewelry

Strolling through the old markets of Dubai, I stumbled upon a little shop that had these to die for shoes

An explosion of colors, intricate details and just straight out of a different era

Later on that day I made my way to a Gold Market, which was also out of this world

 I mean would wear this - Maybe a Maharaja? Don't know, I've yet to meet one

LLM Mood Board

Oh the joys of aimlessly scrolling through the internets and making something out of it that only requires use of your right brain

Creating mood-boards relaaaaaaxes me, i combine lots of feels, colors, mixed media all together confined in one letter sized pdf It also is a great way, for me, to do my research before taking on a new project specially if it's for a new logo or identity 

This one was for Laurie-Lynn Macdonald, a personal trainer, yoga instructor, GROOVE master trainer all mushed into one human who takes an all-inclusive and simple approach with her clients integrating community, creativity and self-awareness. Her free spirited style of holistic self-care blends technical and playful for a uniquely balanced and heartfelt experience.

Create & Cultivate

I started 2016 craving inspiration and newness

My beautiful friend who runs a picture perfect lifestyle blog suggested a girls weekend to attend a Create and Cultivate conference, just two days where we can explore, meet new people inspire and be inspired.. I was so down!! 

We booked all our tickets and off we went 

We got in pretty late so we picked up some chipotle on the way before check in then head out in search of a bull

Got two seconds of my version of Texas

Next day, Saturday, bright and early we went on to Create and Cultivate

C&C is a day of all things pretty, a great way to connect with like minded people and a perfect excuse for a girls weekend getaway - not that we need one..  

Dreamin' of the beach

Having lived in Montreal for quite sometime now with zero vacation days, I was at home scroling through my friends' beach photos and feeling sorry for myself

With the desperate urge to sell my car, buy an inflatable unicorn float and run off to have a European summer by the Mediterranean, I channeled some of that energy and put a moodboard together that promotes being in a vacation state of mind all year round where it ignites an irresistible spark to provoke my curious mind, empowering me to embrace each day to its fullest.... and then went on to freeze my ass off at the pool and reported to work Monday morning
