Its that time again! Time for this weeks Friday Feature and Giveaway! This weeks shop is Monkey Mind Design! A great graphic design shop! Anita has been kind enough to put a great Calendar up for grabs! For more information about entering the giveaway scroll to the bottom of the feature! Now here's some information about this great shop and its creative owner, Anita!
I have been a graphic designer for 13 years in the advertising agency world. I recently left my job to pursue my new venture (Monkey Mind Design). It was time to get back to my roots of hands on creative and creating for myself. It's been two months and I love it! I hope to create designs that are positive, inspiring and fun. I came up with my shop name while we were on the highway coming back home. It really didn't take long. I wanted something that really represented me. And Monkey Mind came up. My sister always told me, I have a monkey mind. Jumping form one thought to another without skipping a beat. And i say, its the truth, creativity never sleep!
At an early age art was my passion. It was very clear the path I was supposed to take. I also graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design. Of course, years of experience in print gave me an advantage. I love paper and printing! It was a major decision to leave my job and pursue happiness and a dream. I needed encouragement and inspiration. So this is the story behind my (More than Words) Calendar. I spent many hours trying to find the right quotes with courage and change in mind. When I am having self doubt... I read the quotes. I am proud of myself and hope to encourage others to pursue their dreams.
Monkey Mind Design was just created in November 2009 and I started selling on November 23rd. However, I have made paper goods for work, friends and myself for years. I am the one that always gets the phone call for invites, but I love doing it.
