USE A CONCEPT
a little inspiration from a past project, The Nook, as I work through a new concept.

If you haven't heard, its officially spring! Don't be fooled by the threat of snow, low temperatures, or grey skies, summer is right around the corner and that brings a whole season full of color, beachy scenery, pools, rooftop parties, and of course fruity cocktails. In preparation I have put together a mini pin board of my favorite outdoor furniture pieces to be catching sun in this season. (one can dream) Check out my pinterest board for more furniture inspiration... start getting bikini ready because this year you have some competition.
literally had a flock of about 30 chinese tourists take photos with me & of me sketching in front of the capital. don't be surprised when i go viral in china.

WASHINGTON D.C.
bye. bye. maryland, so long so-cal, it is time for some city living. it is moving weekend {snow+superbowl weekend seemed ideal} and i am extremely excited to be moving into the nations capital along with the other 500,000 residents. its been about 3 months that i have been back on the east coast, and its been a bit of a change of pace, but im loving every minute of it, i snagged a sweet one bedroom, only because of this amazing coworker+friend catherine {blog here} who is off to "work for cheese" in the city of love, Paris. , and i am extremely excited to set up shop and stay put for at least a year... here goes another adventure.
a million ideas... a thousand solutions... one design.

This week, I officially accepted a job offer at EDENS in Bethesda, MD. After moving into a house in Ocean Beach, CA less than a month ago, I am now in the process of re-packing and getting ready for a week long road trip back East! Extremely excited for a new adventure and an amazing opportunity, I am going to miss all that is the city of San Diego! It is hard to believe all that has happened in such a short year. 1. Moved to Cali! (could not have done it without my sister & her now fiance Trevor) 2. Found a job in less than 2months at a talented firm full of great people-SAFDIE RABINES ARCHITECTS 3. Reunited with a good friend in LA for Dwell on Design 4. Attended Neocon 2012 in Chicago with the San Diego Neocon Group 5. Traveled the Cali coast with my family, from San Diego to Eureka 6. Partnered with Cosentino solid surfaces to create a table setting that was published in the September issue of the Riviera magazine. 7. Moved to a house overlooking the Pacific Ocean. 8. Accepted a job of my dreams! Next stop DC, see you on the flip side :)
My {re} salvaged plates are now available for sale at Rusty Gold in North Park. Check out the vintage furniture and home decor found within the {2} shipping containers on the corner of 32nd and Thorn!
Thank you to everyone who made the night a success! Great food.refreshing drinks.good design. fancy cars & private jets.
....and I have officially made my first published appearance. Check out the rustic table setting on page 152 of this month's Riviera magazine.
It's exciting to be a part of such a great cause, Promises2Kids charity, and to promote local restaurants and of course design!

Get influenced! Learn from others, take whatever you can, bad or good, and turn it into something of your own. My absolute favorite day of the month is the day my Interior Design magazine comes to the house, folded and stuffed in our tiny mail container on the front porch. Pages upon pages of inspiration, point of views, colors, DESIGN! The possibilities are endless....
