this morning i’m thrilled to welcome one of my favorite designers (and people)- julia rothman- to the d*s guest blog. i’ve been a huge fan of julia’s work since she started in 2007 and have really enjoyed watching her work grow and change as she takes on new projects. i’m a big fan of her blog, book by its cover, as well, but this week i’m excited to have her posting on d*s. julia is starting this morning with two fantastic posts- one on a favorite design object of hers and the other is a how-to demonstration about making a repeat pattern. if you’re a pattern designer or just a fan of them, you’ll definitely want to check these out. click here to view julia’s first two posts of the week!
