Caramels and Calligraphy

I recently celebrated a birthday and one of my favorite gifts I received came from a wonderful woman who has always been a true advocate for satisfying my craving for sweets.

These handmade caramels from Katherine Anne Duncan of Katherine Anne Confections are to die for!  Her specialty caramels and truffles are all handmade from scratch using only the finest natural ingredients that are local or organic.  They are sweet and decadent and since they do not use any artificial preservatives, flavors or colors you don't have to feel guilty about eating a whole box full! 

After eating three caramels myself and admiring their super cute packaging, I felt inspired to create calligraphy signs highlighting the unique flavors.  My special package included Early Grey Tea and Pear flavored caramels...  The two signs below showcases my favorite flavors: Rosemary Sea Salt and Fig. 

I'm a huge fan of these confections and they are a perfect favor for a special event or just a nice gift for anyone that appreciates home made goodies.

 

Map design for AFR Networker

I was so excited to get the call from AFR Event Furnishings to design an original map for their 4th annual networker at the Orlando History Center.  I have been to hundreds of vendor parties representing other companies but this was the VERY FIRST event that I represented EMMAY DESIGN and seeing your own logo on marketing material is such a thrilling feeling.  To have my logo seen with the top industry vendors in Orlando is very humbling and I am incredibly honored to have partnered up with these trendsetters.

The theme for their mixer was "History Happening" so it was totally fitting to host their event at The Orlando History Center.  AFR always does it big so they can't just have one floor... they needed THREE plus the courtyard outside to accommodate the hundreds of people in attendance. 

Since their theme was History Happening they showcased 3 specific eras in time: The Roaring Twenties on the 3rd floor, The Awesome 80s on the 2nd floor and modern day featured outside in the courtyard.  Below is the finished map and it was received so well I couldn't have been more happy with the end result. 

And take a look at the video from the party.  Thank you to Tampa Wonderworks Film for putting this together!
