Today I am writing about a cause very close to my heart as a wedding stationery designer: saving the postal service from losing its funding. Between this and my Black Lives Matter post, it may seem like the Roseville Blog is getting political. But I don’t see it that way. Both causes are neither Republican […]
What a year, and what a week it’s been. There’s been so much sadness + grief, but I’m seeing winds of change. Businesses are opening, and so are people’s consciousness to all the pain Blacks have endured. My thinking has shifted so much, and I’ve been wrestling with how I can help be part […]

Now that I am home full time it seems one thing crossed off the to-do list leads to five more added. I’ll clean out my inbox and see […]
It’s been a rough August at Roseville Design since my grandmother’s passing early last week. The last several days have been jam-packed with reminders + life lessons, and I’ve been trying to lean into the emotion and take in as much as I can.
