Praxis Design

✨6 years full-time today🥳

No fancy photoshoot, just a pic of regular ol me in the middle of the day, showing up for my clients and giving them my very best.

asked me what advice I’d give hitting this benchmark and I said “going all in on myself sooner.” Believing fully in myself and my ability to make my dreams happen. To discard the doubt and just jump in. This year is the one I’ve felt the most “ownership” over my business and not just like a passenger. I’m more clear headed in where I want to go and that’s an incredible feeling.

Beyond appreciative for each and every client, project, and connection I’ve made along the way. The trust you’ve given me, the time we’ve shared, working everyday to make each others dreams come true is A GIFT! If we’ve met, emailed, worked together or just existed in the same space - thank you for being on this journey with me ❤️

It’s officially October which means it’s pumpkin and pop-up season 🍂✨ In STL there are a plethora of them this weekend, so take advantage and head out for a lil treat and treasure hunting!

If you didn’t know, PDS started as a stationery biz and many-a-weekend were spent filling my suv to the absolute BRIM with totes and pop up tables. I have both fond and not-so-fond memories of these times… like completely smashing my finger between 2-50lb concrete weights. So much work goes into just appearing at one of these markets, let alone making “the things.” But my absolute favorite was seeing people come into my tent space and just find JOY in what I made. How cool it is that we can create ✨things✨that bring a spark to a person, make them feel seen, or think of someone they know in a fond or funny way. Such a gift to both give and receive!

Now I get to cheer from the sidelines and support in a different way - like designing these cozy candle labels for . If you head to a market this weekend, I hope you stumble across some treasures, meet new local makers, and see just how much heart goes into every small business dream. 💛

Say hello to the new Patty’s Cheesecakes truck! This is our second vehicle wrap for Patty, and this one’s bigger, bolder, and ready to roll up to pop-ups, parties, and events all over town (yes, you can book it for yours 🍰🎉). We used Patty’s signature branding to create a vibrant, high-energy food truck design that perfectly matches her brand and delish desserts!
