So yes. Here it goes! I recently, and after much thought and hesitation, decided to start a new adventure: working on my own, from my design studio. A risk? Well it’s one that’s definitely worth trying. Since I can’t (yet) show you photos from the studio (or room more precisely), I’ll share with you my basic business card! icon smile Taking the plunge (Note that it’s my 1st personal business card ever. As they say in French: “Les cordonniers sont toujours les plus mal chaussés”).

    Wow. Great news. I, too, took the plunge and quit my job and am quitting design altogether, but that’s another matter and I will tell you all about it he next time we bump into one another.
