10 Years?! A Decade in the Making.

LostBumblebee is 10. That means I've been doing graphics for 10 years. It actually started a lot earlier than that. I  started doing logo design for my dad when I was just a little girl. I use to draw out a design and he would take it to the printer and they would re-create my work for his business cards. It always made me feel so proud that he would used my work. gulp.

So for the 10 year celebration of LostBumblebee,  I thought I would share an info-graphic detailing a little bit about my life as a designer and my life as my life (it has been a wild ride). Also in celebration, I just ordered myself some new business cards  I can't wait to get them. Oh ya, we party hard here!

If you are interested in what I've learned about Creativity in the past 10 years check out this guest post I wrote over at IAMDUY's Blog. 


Enjoy!
