Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

My sister loves turtles. And I needed a project idea, so I decided to make her a turtle bookmark. It’s nothing too fancy, just a few turtles and some extra elements for pizzazz. I did a rough sketch of my idea first and then added a light wash of watercolor overtop. It didn’t take long…

As I steadily become more adult-like, you better bet your bottom dollar that I’ve been dreaming up plans for my dream house one day. Ideally, it would be by a lake or the ocean, complete with ocean-themed décor. But I don’t plan to be moving any time soon and I am very, very landlocked. So,…

I’ve always enjoyed cleaning and organizing spaces, finding new spots for things to go, and how they may or may not fit perfectly.  That being said, I have had a few different creative spaces in my…

Being a graphic design student, I’ve had wonderful projects to work on, including creating a magazine from scratch. That I’m having a blast with! In my magazine I created a vertical ad for Queen City Bakery in Sioux Falls. My first step that I do when first starting a project like this is to sketch…
