We have exciting news to share! Just when we thought we couldn’t love our city more, we were selected by Seattle’s premiere lifestyle resource, The Seattleite, as a dynamic trendsetter & trailblazer.
It was a pleasure working with Jane Yuan, Chief Seattleite & contributing columnists, Kelly Darrah.

This August, they featured a series of profiles on influential movers and shakers & innovative entrepreneurs in their fields. It is truly an honor to be listed among the best that the Puget Sound region and the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Recently launched in January 2011, the Seattleite has quickly become the lifestyle news site for Seattle’s young professionals who are in-the-know and on-the-go. We refer to the Seattleite to deliver the latest news and happenings around The Emerald City. Check out our feature HERE!   


Last weekend, I had the privilege of hosting Minted’s first home Mintie meet-up! We gathered at my Eastside abode on a beautiful Summer morning. A wonderful group of passionate Northwest creatives attended to network & preview Minted’s signature luxe paper and limited edition Art Prints.



Mariam shared insightful information about Minted’s phenomenal platform, as well as upcoming events & challenges.



We enjoyed a variety of local organic aliment & refreshing beverages.


Another topic of discussion was the amazing Minted cake created by the talented Lara Ticeson of Custom Cakes. 




Displayed throughout our home were samples of Minted’s Community Designed products.
Journals, Calling Cards, Invitations, Suites, Announcements, Art Prints & more!


No room was off limits, including my office & our daughter’s playroom!


FYI Minties: You’re designs are even more spectacular in person!

Our guests traveled from all over the Pacific Northwest, some as far as Portland!


Melissa of Pistols, Harmony, and Kimberly of Billede Design.
