Let the blogging begin!

Hello world! Welcome to my blog, Art and Design Musings. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

While my professional life revolves around Excel, Word, and a lot more Excel, I’m not-so-secretly a die-hard design enthusiast. After studying 3-D animation in college, I realized my fascination with design and art and my admiration for people who possess the skills to draw, paint, sketch, design, animate, and just generally CREATE. I love the idea of infusing something commonplace with unexpected and original design.

Beyond basic product design, I’m also always on the look out for interesting digital design – phone apps, digital tools, new uses of social media – and clever, creative marketing campaigns that really jump out from a design standpoint. Here’s one of my favorites from Vantage stain remover for their market in Brazil (I’m telling you, innovation can come from literally anyone, anywhere):

So here I am, basically turning my once weekly “look at this ridiculous [insert product name] design!” email to my artsiest friends into a blog, to spread the love.  Because innovative, fun, wacky, outlandish, creative designs deserve to be admired.
