You could say I spend a lot of time on Pinterest. My boards<\/a> are pretty full.<\/p><\/div>\n

I joined Pinterest over a year ago for what was supposed to be a simple, fun distraction from schoolwork because Facebook was not quite doing the job. My experience was at first overwhelming because I was not following anyone yet, so all I could do was scroll through pages and pages of pictures and seemingly at random select things I thought were pin-worthy. As I invested more time into the experience I began selecting categories and making specific searches. My first search was for music merchandise, specifically concert posters. This was my first welcome into the design world on Pinterest.<\/p>\n

One of the initial pinners I followed because of my interest in concert posters was Joanna Hawley<\/a> and her board \u201cArt of all kinds\u201d. As her bio reads, Joanna is a designer for Anthropologie home and a blogger for Oh Joy!<\/a> and Design for Mankind<\/a>, two design blogs.<\/p>\n

After I began following Joanna, I was introduced to a \u201cplethora of designers\u201d who were using Pinterest for self-promoting their work and projects. I was able to pour through tons and tons of design inspiration and I myself was inspired to pursue an interest I had left in my past.<\/p>\n

I have always been intrigued by hand lettering and printmaking. In high school I spent many of my afternoons in the art building making stencils and stamps. I enjoyed drawing patterns and writing down quotes. My mother and I began following a few Tacoma-local designers at Springtide Press<\/a>. Once inspiration hit me, my high school hobby has turned into a full-blown passion. I have experimented with a few mediums, but my favorite has remained hand lettering.\u00a0Someday I will hopefully have my own work up on Pinterest!<\/p>\n
