Today is the day!! ✨ Two of my most talented friends launched @wileybody this morning and I could not be more proud! Not only is the packaging NEXT LEVEL, but the all-in-one body bubble is safe for newborns and adults alike and smells like a dream. AND that bottle could make any shower/tub/sink look good, amirite?! I know they didn’t make this JUST for my baby on the way...but the timing seems a little too perfect, no?! 😏 ANYWAY, this is just one of the many amazing things to come from @wileybody and I can’t wait to see what these two talented moms, @janereaction & @awadewego, cook up next. I’m not crying, you’re crying. @wileybody #wileybaby #wewileyloveyou
Happy Thanksgiving friends!! I designed this last year for our first family Turkey Trot t-shirts that was named after all our married names combined and wasn’t quiiiiite a 5k 😂 Not Turkey Trotting this year because #pregnant, but I hope everyone has an amazing day with family and friends and eats enough that you have to unbutton your jeans just to make it through the day. Love you guys!! ✨
Every week my pregnancy app tells me what size fruit or vegetable my baby is and it makes no sense? Like one week a head of romaine lettuce and the next a turnip? Ummm, bore me more. SO. I present to you the basic girls guide to baby sizes based on trendy things like our Starbucks drinks and Gucci slides. Next time you’re 16 weeks pregnant and drinking a Diet Coke I hope you think of me. Swipe through for closeups 👌🏼 . . . #womenofillustration #procreateapp #ipadillustration #bumpdate #applepencilart #illustration #pregnancyweekbyweek #33weekspregnant

Another great year of @designervaca under my belt and grateful for the friendships and motivation I leave with every year 🙌🏼 One major reminder - there is more than enough success to go around in this world. So while you’re out there being fearless and killing it, you can ALSO openly celebrate those around you doing amazing things! I know and love this concept already but sometimes when your head is down and you’re so focused on succeeding, you can forget to look up and cheer for others, so it was a GREAT reminder! Anyway, happy Saturday everyone. I LOVE YOU GUYS! . . . #womenofillustration #designervaca #acehotelpalmsprings #procreateapp #ipadillustration #applepencilart #acehotel #freelanceillustrator
This was supposed to be a 7.5 month pregnancy bump pic, but it’s pretty underwhelming so whatever. ANYWAY, loving spending time with my design friends in the desert getting inspired at @designervaca ⚡️
Another client piece I never posted 🕊 Starting to get excited about heading out to the desert for another year of @designervaca! Who else is going?! #womenofillustration #illustration #freelancedesigner #adobeillustrator
Been sorting through a lot of my work for a v exciting upcoming project and found a ton of things I’ve never shared here! I’ve been really bad about posting on this account lately. Honestly pregnancy has been a crazy physical and emotional rollercoaster for me. I’ve been working a lot less than I ever have, and that’s been a major adjustment. At first it was because I was so sick for almost 5 months that it was honestly a struggle to get out of bed. And then I wasn’t working as much because of the anxiety I had about feeling out of touch and “out of the game” for so long that I questioned my creativity and ability. Yesterday I had a call about a VERY exciting opportunity that would have a lot of media coverage and right when I got off the phone I started to panic thinking “omg, maybe I should have told them I’m pregnant just in case they don’t know and they don’t want to market a pregnant artist!” CRAZY, I KNOW. But these are the thoughts I have sometimes and it’s scary. As someone who has ALWAYS felt confident and sure in work this has been a very interesting time for me. It’s been weird to say the least. Anyway, all this to say - it’s okay to be human and feel soft sometimes. I’m trying to be patient with myself and create when I’m able, but not stress about it if something’s just not working. I know that life ebbs and flows and I’m just in a low tide period and that’s okay! In other news, I’ve been funneling the majority of my creativity into creating a haven for my baby in the form of a very cool nursery (yep, I’m bragging) and posting about all that fun stuff on my “personal” account @havenbythebae. Feel free to follow there if you care about baby things, I’m trying to not bother all you artsy fartsy folk with #bumpdates 😂 #womenofillustration
