Feeling loads of gratitude for the work I receive and especially when the end product is met with praise... like awards.
Some nice mentions came in the last few weeks. Helping me to remember what I love doing everyday... being a designer.
So, here are some of the mentions.....
As always, a tip of my hat to all my clients and supporters out there. Without you, I wouldn't have an aim for where to target my goals!
• A GOLD ASTER Award for the 2009 St. Helena Hopsital Foundation Annual Report
(without the beautiful photography of Megan Reeves, this project would not have stood on it's own. Thank you Megan!)
