✨ CLIENT SPOTLIGHT ✨�I had the absolute joy of creating a custom illustrated pattern for .rogacki_realtor — a local Cary/Apex realtor. Kelle wanted something that felt bright, cheerful, and so her—a colorful house pattern to reflect her work in real estate, and something that paired perfectly with her existing black-and-pink logo.

We built a custom brand package tailored to her needs, including a Facebook banner, phone lock screen, and Instagram templates. I had so much fun bringing her bubbly personality to life through color, hand-drawn details, and playful design touches!

Are you a small biz owner dreaming of personality-packed branding? 🎨�I’d love to create something custom just for you.�💌 Send me a DM and let’s chat!

In honor of and Kevin‘s wedding today at , here is a look the map that I illustrated as part of their wedding invitations. This map tells their love story by highlighting their special locations of where they met, where they got engaged, their wedding venue, hometowns, etc!
Working on Rachel’s wedding invitations and signage has been an absolute joy and I could literally feel her excitement and enthusiasm during every step of the process. It is also worth noting that I have never known anyone to send more Happy Tines cards than Rachel. She is the snail mail queen! 👑
Not only is Rachel a client, but she is a lifelong friend! Our families grew up together and our moms are the best of friends. Swipe to see a pic of me and my dad holding Rachel as a newborn baby 🥰
The world is indeed a brighter place because Rachel radiates sunshine & spreads kindness to so many others. I am so proud of this girl. Congrats Doctors Rachel & Kevin Coughlin! 🎉

Which do you prefer: spooky Halloween decor or cute Fall decor? Bats & spiders or fall leaves & pumpkins?
I’ve never been too big into Halloween decor until 2 years ago when Wesley was 2 and became obsessed with skeletons. Now Halloween is one of my top favorite holidays of the year and it is only getting better!
I created a free phone and desktop wallpaper for this month with a spooky twist. If you’re on my email list, you received yours earlier this week! If you’re new around here, you can click the link in my profile to snag yours. Happy spooky season! 👻
