Design Samples

Well, I just got the bad news that Zoto will be closing its doors in about a month. It's a real shame but the money just isn't there to support a full time staff. We were really close to exiting a few months ago but the stars did not align properly (stupid stars). So now it's time to hang up our hats. It's been a great experience and I've learned so much during my 2+ years working at Zoto as their designer. It's a little heartbreaking but hopefully another door will open now that this one is closing. And if, behind that open door, is a room full of money OR a nice new job then I will be a happy camper. I need need a new gig ASAP. I guess it's a good thing I've been working on my new site which I will try to have up and running this weekend at www.colorspretty.com.

Daily Color Inspiration: Buffy The Vampire Slayer

My Buffy The Vampire Slayer inspired palette is comprised of custom colors I created that have Buffy-related names (including Joss Whedon Beige). I think this palette really captures the vibrant, campy nature of my beloved show. Use these colors in your next project and then you can brag to all of your equally geeky BTVS friends about it! Enjoy!

I Miss Buffy
