again, it's been a while since I've last posted. I have some images to share from a project from earlier this year that never made it to market. after completing design and prototyping, our client at Distant Village had some internal reorganization of the company and the project went out with it.

I actually really enjoyed working with the client. they knew what they wanted and I was able to capture their vision easily through design. it's a shame this was halted.

in these images you will see a few offerings, 9 and 18-piece truffle boxes and valentine's day box.

still enjoying what I do and the lifestyle of a freelancer. i've been following another blog on freelancing for several months now and it's been very insightful for me. it is FreelanceSwitch. always good to see others are doing what I am setting out to do as a freelancer.

getting close to the halfway mark of the year, I've been averaging 43 hours/week up to this point. i've worked as many as 60 hours in a week and as few as 32 hours in a week. i did have a week of vacation so far well.

i worry about burning out sometimes, but i've found what helps keep this from happening is good sleep, some exercise, and hydration. even when I am super busy, it's hard to say no to work, especially new clients. i've been able to pass along some of my overload to other trusted designers and it's worked out real well.

not sure when i should go full-blown with my own design consultancy vs. continuing to do a bit on my own while freelancing in-house at firms. i have a feeling i'll know when the moment is right.
