About pottsdesign

pottsdesign is a small design studio with very big ideas! I created pottsdesign three years ago after working as an in-house graphic designer for a local college. My passion for art and design, and a true love of working hand-in-hand with clients lead me to pursue a bigger dream of being an independent designer. I love working on a true variety of projects and get my hands involved in everything I can—from graphic design, to illustration, to the stationery here on minted.com!

Love your Modern Grid submission. I have a book called 1,000 Greetings and there was a piece in there that used that same symbol. I was just thinking today how could I use it in a seasonal way and then saw your piece...you nailed it! Great job.
