Super excited about this upcoming project with The Branded Good & Forty Wink! I can't wait for everyone to see the collection!!
The next designer behind our soon-to-be-released Mother's Day Collection is stationary and home goods designer, Justine Ma: Design & Hand Lettering!
After graduating from the U of A with a Bachelor of Design, Justine worked at various agencies and studios here in Edmonton. She ended up branching out on her own turning her hobby into a stationery and home goods business. Justine is a self-taught calligrapher and has been teaching workshops since 2014. She sells her whimsical designs at shows, markets, select retailers and on her online shop.
"Everyday comes with it’s own level of anxiety and stress with the amount of work there is to get done and the “hustle” but I’ve realized quite quickly that there is no balance. I do what I can, when I can, with realistic timelines for me. I’m very lucky in that I don’t have a lot of client work, but even then, they are usually always so accommodating.
I’ve also found, by slowing down, I’ve created some of my best projects. Having Ruby home, always peeking at my computer, she’s given me feedback, always pumping me up and we’ve even created some great projects together out of it. Integrating work and life together has been a big part of my business. I’m so appreciative of this time we’ve had together."
Stay tuned as we continue to share the designer/mother dream team behind our next collection!
