iheartradio

Moving on and moving up, I've taken a new job at iheartradio as the Lead Mobile UX Designer! Pretty lofty and exciting stuff. You might not have heard of iheartradio yet, but by fall you definitely will and I'm thrilled to be on the ground floor.

Elle.com

The redesign of Elle.com is finally live! If you're familiar with the old site, then you'll notice an increased focus on pictures, new typography and more negative space. It's a visual feast. Check out the live site or see it in my portfolio.

CMYcaKe

Thinking about rhymes and CMYK on the train like I always (never) do, the idea of CMYK cake hit me. For the first time ever, I set out to make a four-layer cake: specifically, CMYcaKe. For the sake of my baking pride, no pictures will be shown. That said, the final, refined version will be coming soon, and this time, the layers will be more than precariously stacked domes.

Drink & Draw

My new favorite weekly activity, which I learned about as a friend-of-a-friend's-friend type of rumor, is Drink & Draw at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn. Having been out of art school for some time, and not exactly being persuasive enough to convince strangers to let me draw them in the nude, D&D provides more than two hours of nude figure drawing plus free drinks. Entry is $15, or $10 if you bring a friend. To any artists in the NYC area, I'd highly suggest it: not only to sharpen your skills, but also to meet other artists from around the city. Check out their official website for more info.
