I am so proud to announce that Amplify the Signal, my recent Creative Lab grant project with Historic South End, is complete! You can now see public art from eight amazing Charlotte artists (plus me!) on the traffic signal boxes along South Blvd.
Charlotte is just beginning to dip its toe in the world of Signal Cabinet wraps and I’m so proud to have created the first ones on display! The first one is in South End, on the corner of South & East Boulevards, right next to Grace Covenant Church. It’s called Intersectional, to pay homage to the crossroads where it is located. Where East meets West, South meets North, haves meet have nots, etc. The art is was created with watercolor and ink. The second one is on the corner of Thomas and Central Ave, next to Workman’s Friend. 2…
Charlotte Mini Maker Faire at Discovery Place Science was amazing. Working together, we created art with over 10,000 stickers!
Okay friends. I’ve been bombarding you with STEP AWAY FROM THE SCREEN for almost 2 months now — over fifty different designs — and I have yet to show you any of the things that I’ve done when I actually stepped away from the screen. Soooo, wanna see some? Oh good — I hoped you were going to say yes! I’ll start with my favorite so far. But first, some background: A few months ago my friend, and amazing photographer, Deborah Triplett had a dream. “It is my dream that for one day people remember that child within them that likes to play creatively…
It’s February 29, y’all! LEAP Year! In honor of our special day, we at LEAP Design would like to give you a gift. Are you ready for it? It’s really big. Bigger than a Big Mac. Bigger than a Big Gulp. Bigger, even, than Big Ben. It’s big. You guys, it’s a day. A whole day. Your very own day to do WHATEVER YOU WANT with. So go. Put your phone down, get up from your computer, and go do something unexpected, something inspiring, something that you wouldn’t do on any normal Wednesday. Need some help? No sweat — we’ve…
Well folks. It’s official. We have been in our LEAP office for a full year now, so we decided “what the heck, let’s put some signs up!” There are many advantages to being tucked away in our sweet, squat little 1950s building, but we think our clients (and more importantly, our potential clients) will appreciate us making it a little easier to find our office. What can I say, we’re givers. So now you have no excuse not to visit us. And as soon as the Diamond reopens across the street, just give us a shout as you’re pulling in…
We just launched a new website that we’re extremely proud of and I thought I’d share it with you. Our good friends over at M Pete Inc. were looking to establish their first online presence and we were thrilled to be able to help. Their Design + Build work is clean, modern and smart, and they wanted their website to reflect this. They already had the circle logo, so we decided that more circles could only be a good thing, right? Check out the full site here.
I’m obsessing over these paintings by Sharon Dowell. Love the colors. Love the layers. Love the perspective. Love. And she’s from Charlotte! Rad. See more of her stuff here. (Thanks Susan!)
