Hallmark Christmas Experience

This holiday season was the debut of the Hallmark Christmas Experience at Crown Center in Kansas City, Missouri. For months (or maybe even over a year!) Hallmark has been working on bringing this event to life and I was so excited to have a small impact on the lettering and design (as they utilized a lot of Sheyda and I’s holiday work) which included supporting a collaborative mural, designing a commemorative t-shirt, lettering for gift product and seeing my friend Laura Ballard’s font “Snickerdoodle” that I had embellished all over the event!

I also had the opportunity to host an envelope decorating workshop with Chris Russell and Jim Langford one of the weekends. It was surreal to see things jump from my computer to giant screens, billboards and tents at the event and I loved meeting so many wonderful Hallmark fans. If you find yourself in KC during the holidays don’t miss a visit to the Hallmark Christmas Experience!

Jingle Stop NYC

Hallmark Channel concluded their Countdown to Christmas Bus Tour at the Blue Hill at Stone Barns outside of NYC. The talented Sheyda Best and I had worked on artwork for Hallmark’s holiday style guide and had the opportunity to customize holiday prints for Hallmark Stars and guests at the event! We had the best time exploring the grounds, enjoying the amazing food and working hard to hand-letter and embellish over 200 prints during the evening. I’m so appreciative of the chance to visit this beautiful venue and it was surreal to see our artwork applied at such a large scale!
