Hi there,

 

At first thought, June felt like a whirlwind, but looking back and reviewing my calendar notes, it was actually a pretty chill month.

 

School’s officially out here in Seekonk, and just like that, Nate is heading onto 11th grade! I've been soaking up the summer vibes with a few local adventures, I stopped by the Attleboro Farmers Market on opening day and checked out the Swansea Market on the Farm for the first time. I still need to get over to the Hope Street Market in PVD this season, I love walking around early on a Saturday morning.

 

Another highlight this month was the Water Lantern Festival at Slater Park, such a peaceful, inspiring evening with glowing lanterns drifting after sunset. The music, the lights, the energy… so good.

 

Do you have a favorite local market or event I should know about? I’m always up for a new spot to wander.

 

One of my clients hosted their annual expo at Gillette Stadium, and I had the opportunity to be involved from start to finish. It was fun (and eye-opening!) seeing all the behind-the-scenes of event logistics, signage, and promotion, a big win for both design and teamwork.

 

Here’s a quick peek at what I’ve been working on this month:

✔ Social Media & Email Marketing: Weekly client meetings, scheduled campaigns, and a steady stream of social content for a long-time marketing partner.
✔ Brochure Updates: Refreshed existing layouts and updated seasonal content.
✔ Logos: Created new logo designs and refreshed older ones with updated branding.
✔ Packaging Design: Developed product packaging concepts and print-ready designs.
✔ Vector Graphic Conversions: Converted client artwork to high-quality, scalable vector formats.
✔ Boat Graphics: Designed, printed, and shipped custom graphics for customer installation.
✔ Lawn Signs: Designed and printed multiple signs for spring promotions and local events.
✔ Website Updates: Completed various website edits, including a full redesign of a custom contact form for intake inquiries.

 

Porch “garden” update: No sunflowers yet, but the sweet peas are a couple feet tall. The tomatoes? Only a couple inches. I also added lantana and foxglove (from the market) for the hummingbirds to enjoy, they’ve been loving it.

 

As we head into July, I’ve got a few new projects on deck; branding, websites, printed materials, and some fresh summer design refreshes. If you're thinking of updating anything this season or want to brainstorm an idea you’ve been sitting on, feel free to reach out. My inbox is always open.
