I once saw a meme that said, “I thought Ariana Grande was a font.” And honestly… same. 😂 But that got me thinking—if you were a font, what would your name be? Typography has personality. Just like fonts can be bold, elegant, quirky, or dramatic, so can you! So let’s play a little game and find out your font name and personality! What Your Font Name Says About You Your font name isn’t just for fun—it reflects a little something about your personality and style! Whether you’re a bold Grande, a charming Serif, or an adaptable Variable, your font alter ego might just be spot on. January → Grande You're bold, dramatic, and unforgettable February → Serif You're are timeless and full of charm March → Display You love to stand out in a crowd April → Script You're creative, and always expressive May → Sans You're modern, clean, and effortlessly cool June → Grotesque You're a little quirky, but in the best way July → Black You're strong, confident, and makes a statement August → Rounded You're soft, approachable, and full of warmth September → Condensed You're efficient, sharp, and always on point October → Oblique You're mysterious and effortlessly stylish November → Gothic You're classic with a bold presence December → Variable You adapt to any situation like a pro 💬 Drop your font name in the comments—I’d love to see what you get!

This storefront isn’t just any store—it’s my childhood home 🏡💕. Both my parents were educators, but I like to say, that I get my creativity from my mom and my side-hustle drive from her too. Alongside her career, she loved exploring hobbies like crafting and making chocolate candy 🍫—a passion that eventually grew into a small garage store. What started as a fun project in our garage blossomed into a thriving candy and chocolate supply business that eventually took over our entire home. Their hard work and dedication, combined with this side hustle, helped put three kids through international college—all at the same time! It even funded my design degree, laying the foundation for my creative career. This business will always be part of my story because it’s what brought me here: doing the work I love for people I admire. This logo is especially dear to my heart because it was one of the very first design projects I ever worked on.. I created it for free because 👉🏼 you don’t invoice your mom! And while I now teach my students in The Brand Design Academy not to work for free, I always remind them that exceptions apply when it’s for someone you love. This logo even went on to win a 2020 Graphic Design USA Award 🏆—a proud moment for both my mom and me. After COVID and the heartbreaking loss of my dad, the store had to close. It was a deeply emotional time, but it reminded me just how much this home, this business, and my parents’ entrepreneurial spirit shaped who I am today. I carry their lessons with me every single day—in how I approach my work, how I guide my students, and how I strive to build something meaningful in my own career. Their story is a reminder that creativity and resilience can overcome even the toughest challenges and that the foundation they gave me is one of my greatest gifts. Though the store is no longer open, its legacy lives on in everything I do—and I hope to honor it by inspiring others to create their own meaningful journeys too. ❤️ |
