Going Green l DVD cases

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:44:14 +0000

One of the things I am extremely conscious of is the amount of packaging materials companies use when shipping items. The environmentalist in me cringes every time I receive a package and have to rip through its plastic casing that are impossible to reuse. Earlier this year I decided I wanted to start using environmentally safe packaging for all of my products. Gone are the metal cd tins and packaging peanuts. You’ll be seeing more recycled brown kraft paper and products that will break down in a way that is healthier for our environment.

While I haven’t quite finished putting the final touches on my packaging (presentation, shipping, etc) I am so excited to share a few photos of my new organic DVD cases from Lotkah

Jordan + Brad l Engagement + Save-the-Date video

Working with my clients is almost always a rewarding experience, but having the opportunity to work with clients who are also artists brings me such joy! As soon as I met Jordan I knew I wanted to do something special and fun with them so we came up with the idea to do a stop motion video announcing their ‘boston a-fair, a post-wedding celebration.” It is one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on in a while and I would love to incorporate it into more client packages so let me know if you might be interested!

Jordan and Brad, I cannot WAIT to shoot your wedding(s)! We are going to have so much fun!

Emily and Dave were married at St. Matthews Cathedral in DC with a reception at Mount Vernon Inn, coordinated by the lovely Linda Taylor. Emily and Daves wedding will forever stay with me as one of my favorite wedding memories ever; one of our many stops on the way to the Mount Vernon Inn included Union Station. Emilys brother, Tyler, recorded a brief video. It was such a memorable experience!

Custom Sewn Cloth Album Case

admin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:34:32 +0000

One of the first things on my mental to-do list in 2010 is to re-think my business branding, packaging and presentation; and here it is, the third week of February and one of my plans for packaging/presentation is on its way to the post office! I have been working on my sewing skills for the past few months and today I finally sewed a presentable version of an album case in a gorgeous black and white damask fabric.

The photos also contain a teeny sneak peek at my new office space that will hopefully be complete next month – a bigger, brighter space with gorgeous vintage hard wood flooring!
