Don't Panic Design

Well, I think I am going to attempt to update this at least weekly at first, or as the desire strikes me. Since the title of this blog is inspired by my store on etsy, I am going to start there. I have worked in copy and print for the better part of the last ten years. The interruptions in that decade have usually involved travel. I am largely self-taught in design.

Welcome to the first post of the Don't Panic blog. While this is primarily a place to showcase new ideas in digital design, it will also be an outlet for other creative endeavors.

I love a deal, but I also love to find things I can re-purpose to meet a need. Oh, and check out my etsy store for complete listings of customizable digital invitations for the ultimate DIYer. There are also personalized note cards, Thank You cards, and organizing tools. There's a button to the right. Pull up a chair, and a mouse, and feel free to ask any questions or leave any feedback, including your ideas and projects! Amy
