EMBRACE BOLD! 🌟 I’m thrilled to share that my new design portfolio is now live on my site - link in bio. This labor of love is a culmination of my latest projects and some all-time faves, reflecting my passion for bold creativity.
I’m currently open to new opportunities in contracting and freelance work. With a focus on Brand Development; Print, Web, and Social Media Design; Project Management; Creative/Art Direction; and even Retail Design, I’m eager to collaborate with teams and individuals who value purposeful design and want to enrich their communities.
When you have a sec, explore my portfolio and reach out if you think we (or someone you know) could create something amazing together. Let’s make things beautiful and beautiful things together!

💯 recommend! Went with a group of friends last week and TOTALLY worth the drive, so much so that Blair and I are taking friends there for lunch Saturday!!!!! Bravo to Katie and the whole @unhitchedbrew team. THE MENU IS INCREDIBLE - hot tip, @akronfoodie
Thinking back to last week in Boston with the Barr Foundation and The Learning Agenda. A great day full of ideas, conversation and POST-IT NOTES! #letlizhelp
Don’t forget to vote, and I implore you to vote YES for Issues 1 & 2. Plus go to your board of elections online to see a sample ballot (which I forgot to do) so you’re not left guessing on some things, like judges or a levy.
The Swiss Alps, sheer perfection. I’ve seen quite a few famous peaks in my life, but this one now holds a very special spot. As mom said today, “I just want to cry when I think about yesterday!” The beauty of the lush grass with the intermittent charming chalet, cows with giant bells, perfectly autumnal trees, soaring cliffs with snow covered caps, perfectly clear water, and the surprise of seeing actual glaciers 🤯 #lizandmomdoeurope
I have mixed feelings on Monet, like many of the masters that are over commercialized, I feel kind of meh about him. But having grown up seeing one of his original Water Lilies, it was a little mind bending to see them in person. And not just to see all of his inspirations but to see these other masterpieces he created, the garden themselves was such a joy. While I loved seeing the Dahlia variétés and the clouds of Nasturtium beneath the central arbors, I would def like to visit again in spring/summer. #lizandmomdoeurope
Bienvenue à Paris! The part mom was most nervous about for the whole trip, finding and getting on the proper train, but in what seems to be the motto of the trip, WE MADE IT! 🇫🇷 #lizandmomdoeurope
“Trip of a Lifetime” has been said a million times already and we are only one day into #lizandmomdoeurope. Our road getting here the past 43 years hasn’t been sunshine and rainbows, and god knows the journey from Cleveland to here in our first stop, London, was anything but, BUT we have worked so hard to get to be able to be here AND be friends, it truly will be a trip of a lifetime! And major props to the hubs, for encouraging or rather not shooting down this idea - don’t worry he will be richly rewarded with delights from @fortnums. Anyhoooooo, follow along in our stories, saved to the highlight: Mom Abroad, and keep DMing us, mom is loving it (it’s been a joy clicking on people’s profile and her saying “I remember them from the shop, they were just the sweetest!”)
Liz Heaven = finally making it to @libertylondon. The beauty of displays juxtaposed in the ancient Tudor structure + the curation of objects themselves (big shoutout to Lovely Somethings favorites: @moglea, @studiocartashop, @riflepaperco, etc.) + seeing some of my personal faves en masse (ahem @houseofhackney, @haydesign and of course Liberty’s own sensational fabric) + the unique experiences (Christmas Shop, the Haberdashery, the pop up scent experience cubes). Oh so inspired!!!!! #lizandmomdoeurope

10 years of married life. 10 years of high highs and low lows and so much in between. 10 years of celebrating in far off cities - don’t worry we’ll be headed off for the New Year to commemorate this one - but, for today, our 💎 Anniversary, it was only fitting to stick close to home for the @diamondgrilleakron. 10 years of being better together. Love you, 🐛.
I did a thing yesterday! Or rather I had a thing done to me. Thanks to @akronmomandkids, I learned of @altitudesocialhouse and booked a micro blading appointment with @artele.aesthetic 👁️ Basically it’s manual tattooing to fill in your eyebrows. 18 tiny needles on something similar to a LePen that she dips into pigment and strokes across your skin. Kaetlin’s description was correct it sounded like Velcro. The whole process took 2 hours and I go back for a perfecting session in 6 weeks then it lasts for 1-2 years. It will be interesting to see the process of healing, but love it so far! Anyone else noticing the older they get that your eyebrows are thinning? I immediately booked once I saw her sample photos of how natural it looks, way better than when I try to use the mascara type thing on my brows. Thanks, @artele.aesthetic 💗
These guys are proof that natures finds a way. I’ve watered them maybe once all season, too distracted with the perennial beds, but the big mother tree I guess gives them the right amount of shade/light and gracefully drips water to them (at least that’s how I’m imagining it goes). I was going to say that Nasturtium is my favorite for the season, but look at that gorgeous purple leaf plant. As usual, all plants from @grafgrowers, simply the best.
Help me choose! Our dining room needs more light (swipe to the second to last to see how it normally looks & the last one I lightened up so you can see wall color, etc. - ignore the messy table), and while I like the mint ceiling fan, now that we have A/C it’s unnecessary. Also if anyone wants the fan, hit me up 💡 COMMENT WITH YOU FAVE 1-5
