Welcome to my new website!
July 29, 2011
Today I say a fond farewell to my old website designed by my friend, and great designer, Guy Holt. While my old site was wonderful, it was becoming increasingly clear that I needed a more hands on site — a site that I could update whenever I needed to…
I am still coming to terms with the machinations behind the scenes, but it’s been fun so far. This website is the result of much hard work and inspiration from Jin Wang. It’s been a positive process — the hardest part was filling out the very detailed questionnaire Jin handed me at the beginning. I also provided him with a mood board which highlighted some favourite colours and my love of typography. I can’t wait for you all to see it and look forward to your feedback.

Thanks Mabel – Jin wasn’t only a great designer, but a good communicator and very easy to work with. You have some very talented offspring!
