Website is LIVE!

My Website is up! Go to KaydDesign.com to check it out for yourself!

I'm so excited and so relieved to finally check this off my to-do list. Isn't the coding great? Yep that would be my amazing boyfriend's work. (Who knew we would just be able to figure all this out?) You should have seen us this summer -we both just sat on the couch working on different elements of the website with either a glass of wine, a beer or a bowl of ice cream. I definitely miss those nights now that he's gone for the summer.



Check it out in Firefox or Safari please. There's still a few tweaks that I need to figure out when viewed in IE
Comments and Suggestions are greatly appreciated as well so shoot me a note.

Freelance : Ronald McDonald House Logo

Back in the spring when I was looking for a summer internship I ran into Josh, the Marketing Communications Manager at Ronald McDonald House Charities, and set up a meeting to learn more about the organization and to see if he could steer me towards the right career path. I was very impressed by the work they do for families with sick children and how close they get to the families staying with them. They had an awesome set up and even a dog running around the place. After the meeting I knew nonprofit was a path I wanted to try out.

As you can imagine, I was thrilled beyond belief when Josh asked m e 2 days later to create a logo for a new summer fundraiser. The idea is that kids can set up their own lemonade stand (with the help from Ronald McDonald House printed materials) and then donate all their proceeds to the Charity. It's a great way to foster philanthropy among the children. What a great way for kids to help other kids in need!

Here's the final logo:

Here are some elements used on the printed materials

Photos : The Pustovars

Last weekend I went to Stillwater to visit my aunt, uncle, cousins and the little boys for some family photos.
Here are some of my favorites. The view we were shooting at was great... but the stairs to get up to the park made my calves hurt for 2 days after. (maybe I need to take up running like my cousin Leah)
The condo has a great view of the river and was a perfect spot for Lumber Jack Days
I never knew just how challenging it would be to get 2 young boys to smile at the same time. It was fun to watch Logan play on the playground with his daddy

At one point Logan wouldn't take any more photos unless he had a stick in his hand.


Thanks Mike for letting me use your camera... I love it and promise I'll return it soon :)
