It’s been a big week! Fun finds from The College Prepster on Tuesday….unique gifts from (mostly) small businesses curated by The Fresh Exchange on Wednesday. You know we’re all about the GIFT GUIDES…and today we’re all about graphic designer + blogger Erin Cassidy of Art Social! 
While Erin started Art Social back in 2011 as an arts focused blog, it wasn’t long until she launched a web-based design studio alongside the brand. Based in Denver, Colorado (hey, so is Havenly!), Erin runs her design operations with one major assurance: great design should be easy, fun, accessible and does NOT have to cost a “bajillion” dollars. We like what we’re hearing and seeing– highlights from her work and blog below!

More good news– she’s opening a shop! Stay tuned for more details (I’m dying to know more, too!).

I guess we kind of have a thing for graphic designers, huh? They seem to just have such an eye for color and composition– and Erin (clearly) is no exception! If you don’t already, follow her on Instagram. It’s a punch of happy every day (in the form of baked goods, cool typography, and yes, even kittens)….
