I just got back from New York last night. It would be understatement to say that I had the most amazing time EVER! I went to do a book event for CREATIVE BLOCK, but I was also there for the other part of my life, the part that I never talk about on this site… until today!<\/p>\n

So, I’m a graphic designer by day, and have been for the past 16 years. I was recently hired by an amazing new online market place to be their creative director. There was no way I wasn’t jumping on this! It’s soooo<\/em> smart and is perfect for creative people who make beautiful things, and love beautiful things. Ready? This is it, and how it works…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So smart, right?! {ps. that beautiful door is the front of our office!!!}<\/em> On GREAT.LY<\/a> it’s the tastemakers that have the shops and do all of the selling, so that the makers only have to worry about doing what they truly love doing… making! And for the tastemakers – they spend their days searching the world for beautiful things to write about, but rarely get paid for those discoveries {selling ads only goes so far}<\/em>… so we’re aiming to make this a win-win-win situation! Makers make and earn. Tastemakers sell and earn. Buyers get one, clean, curated, non-cluttered market place filled with amazing products from all over the world brought to them by the tastemakers that they already follow. We’re launching {in May} <\/em>with approximately 50 tastemakers boutiques, and so I wanted to give you a quick peek at a few of these fabulous people:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yep. I couldn’t control myself! I wanted a boutique too! I’m going to fill it with lots of amazing art! Ok. That’s where you come in. We are looking for makers to set up their studios on GREAT.LY. Art, design objects, jewelry, linens, high-end food… basically anything beautiful and unique that you would want in your home! Any takers? If you want to apply, you can fill out this form<\/a>. Hope to see you on there! ps. I’m going to have a maker studio too! Why? Because…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So true. I think I feel a new collage coming on right now! If you have any questions, you can send our lovely founder, Sarah Bryden-Brown, a note at sarah@great.ly \u00a0 ~ \u00a0thank you!<\/p>\n

ps. A few photos from the NYC event… and also, I found my book at the MoMA bookstore {and almost cried. Ok. I cried a tiny bit.} I also met 5 of the artists from the book, all of whom I have insane art crushes on. Amazing.<\/em><\/p>\n
