Product Idea

It’s Senior time!! One of my biggest sellers for seniors are graduation/open house announcements. At Pink Ink we have a nice selection of grad cards, moo templates (which they love to hand out) and wallet cards. Check Traci Murphy’s new grad cards:

You can see all of the cards here:

Designer Focus::MadiLu Designs

What is your favorite product that you have in the store?

Currently it’s my Senior Starter Kit. It’s the season when the new seniors start rolling in and it’s fun to see all of the different styles.

How long have you been designing?
I’ve been designing for about 12 years. Some at the end of college and then ever since I graduated.

Where does the name ‘MadiLu Designs’ come from?
My daughters. I have a Madison and a Lucy and wanted to find something that sounded more “fun” than my regular corporate design business. I also have two boys, but JackSam didn’t really sound that great and I’m pretty sure SamuelJackson would have gotten me into trouble

Messy or clean workspace?
I wish, wish, wish I could say clean, but I usually have so much going that it’s difficult to see the top of my desk. Somehow, I know exactly where everything is.

Why do you love being a designer?
I love being a designer because I do different projects every day. It’s never boring and I enjoy when I get to come up with an idea that will help someone else’s business. It’s great when a piece comes together and even better to get something back from the printer.

Describe your style-
I tend to gravitate to simple, clean and eye-catching. However, I love working with swirls, scrolls and vintage … I also have an addiction to polka dots that I like to incorporate when it’s appropriate.

When you aren’t designing, what else are you usually doing?
Hanging out with my family. Looking forward to the spring and summer weather when we can be outside. Our goal is to plant a pizza garden this summer. We’ll see what happens! Also volunteer at the kids’ school and when possible, try to visit w/friends.

If you had an extra $100, what would you spend it on?
Shoes or a big, chunky ring in a dream world … diapers in reality.
