Happy Belated New Year!

Well it has been a great year so far and a mild winter here in Pittsburgh.  I am thankful for that as I heard from my family that back in Virginia they got hit HARD in January with the snow.  I also got to celebrate my first St. Patty's Day in the 'burgh.  It was a lot of fun and the festivities seemed to start a week before the actual day!  They are said to be the second largest parade in the country and I'd say that is pretty accurate.


I have also been catching up on some reading from my dad's new book, which can be found here.  And this awesome book by Nicole Lapin that I have been raving about called Rich Bitch.  It has definitely helped me lock down my finances - which you're never too old or young to do.


On another note, I have been working hard on snagging a job.  Got a few temp positions which have provided the income I need so that is good.  One job that I contracted, through this awesome website called Upwork, was to re-design a Brewery's logo.  The client really helped me hone in on my designing capabilities and I learned a lot throughout the process.  I am hoping to get more gigs like this in the future to further develop these skills and to learn more about the design capabilities of the Adobe programs I have.   Here are some of the mock-ups I made for the client (Rights Reserved):

 

Well that is all for now!
