My bestie — competitive arm wrestler, lipsyncer and all round baddie also known as Muscle Mommy — is competing at a fundraising event this weekend. Proceeds from the event and these cute tees support food security in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill areas.

We're often asked if we are open to design work. The answer is usually a vague "sometimes!" or "maybe" or "yea?" (like a yes statement but asked like a question because we're unsure of ourselves). Well let me clear that up for you. Lol

Marla and I are self-taught graphic designers. We were first painters and printmakers and video artists (Marla) and so we understand design concepts and theory but we've learned design software slowly over the years in our professional lives. Some friends (who are also clients) have taken a chance on us including the lovely people over at They've asked me to design bandanas for their staff gifts over the years. The first one was pretty bad (please don't dig that up) but I think each one was better than the last. Thanks Melissa, for encouraging my growth 🌱

I'm doing a Udemy Illustrator course rn and I find it really helpful but I've got some questions for artists who are struggling with designing or designers who remember what that feels like. What helps you feel more confident in your work? How do you figure out how much to charge for your time? Especially when you know that you're not as quick as a professional designer. Any general tips for novice designers or designers who struggle with imposter syndrome is welcome in the comments section. Please and ty!!

We're grateful for each other and all the wonderful women in our lives. Happy 💐💞👯
