We were able to collaborate with the delightful Oana Befort for some special watercolor touches throughout and the wordpress-genius Aaron Wade of Areus Wade for her blog.

You may be familiar with Kelli Murray and her incredible tastes and talents from her blog or her etsy shop. I had so much fun rooming with her at the Design Life Retreat and she is just as sweet and genuine as her photos portray.

I seriously wish she could be my stylist; she oozes style.

(I am sure I am not alone, right?!

I thought I’d start highlighting a few of my favorites; today, David Marcinek. I enjoy his artistic compositions and (more recent) exploration with motion blur, as well as his architectural details.

As my absence from the blog might suggest, work has been going well, keeping me busy. I feel so privileged to be able to grow my team to better serve clients and invest in this blog. It goes without saying that transitioning from a one-man show to a team is an adjustment, but it has already brought new inspiration and bigger ideas for MStetson.

Without further ado, I’d like to introduce Jean Lee—our new Account Executive! Jean is an incredible mother of two, a loving wife, a faithful friend, and one organized lady. She has thrived in big agencies, small studios, and in-house marketing departments. If ever there was a person built to work alongside me, it was Jean. Her attention-to-detail and organization are just what a growing creative team needs, and her kind and thoughtful heart make her an absolute joy to work with.

You’ll hear more from Jean in the near future on the blog and MStetson Facebook page, but for now, please welcome, Jean!

Graphic designer, typographer, and maker of rad miscellany, Mark Caneso has taken his custom ampersat (or “commercial at”, “at sign”, or “apetail”) to new heights in a router-cut, layered baltic birch plywood @ Accent Table.

In addition to the visual appeal, I love the nook that serves to store books or magazines.

A perfect conversation piece.

(It still seems so crazy to type 2013; shouldn’t we have flying cars by now?!) The New Year always gives me good, dedicated time to consider how I want to grow and challenge myself in the coming season. One goal, and probably one I’ll have for years to come, is to be present in the little things. My projects, emails, iphone, deadlines, keep me busy and days fly by before I feel like I’ve come up for air—missing all the little moments in between. The past twenty-two days have been pretty good, but I’m already feeling the to-dos and busyness taking hold. So, my questions to you are…

Are you making headway on your New Year’s resolutions?—and—How do you ensure you are enjoying each day’s little things?
