Courtney @ Flush Designs's Picture
Flush Designs, Pasadena Vendor: Invitations, Event & Floral Design, Photography Website: Flush Designs About Me: Flush Designs is run and owned by me, Courtney C. Keefe de Jauregui. It is all encompassing, from the custom & handmade invitations seen at my website, to full exploration in event styling and design, to flower arranging, to playing sidekick and second shooter to my husband's wedding photography. I am working on becoming a wedding "One stop shop". :) I am a graduate in fine art painting, but a self taught graphic designer. As I still needed to get my hands dirty, I started taking letterpress classes, thus becoming my new love. When I am not busy working (usually still in my pajamas) and telling myself to remember to buy a new chair (this one hurts), I am singing to my 3 cats and enjoying a cold pint with my husband at our favorite local Irish pub. Maybe it's in the reverse order. :)
About Courtney @ Flush Designs

As a wedding vendor, there is something to say about having a “shop” or “studio”. It gives a bit of mojo to your work. But as an artist, there is something to say about just having a “home”. So as a self employed “wedding artist”, I turned my home into my studio. It is small and I could definitely use a few more tables and chairs and storage. Our hopes are to get a larger space this summer — with 5 printers, 3 cats, 3 computers, 2 scanners, and a husband, it can get a bit tight to say the least. It causes screams of frustration about once a month when I decide to make a nice dinner and realize our “kitchen” table (it is in quotes because it is actually in the living room and we call our couch our dining table) is covered in photos, letterpress plates, bills, extension cords, lenses, and a cat, hence the move to the dining table AKA the couch.

It makes living and working completely one thing. I know if I expand I will be able to grow my business, but for now it is good and we are happy. So with out further ado: This is my work space…. a clean version! :) Tee hee… and a couple of pics of me, in one of which I am very serious. BTW that is not the press I use for most of my projects — I rent a big beast of a press at another studio. That little guy is for the tiny projects. I used to do my major projects on it until I grew a Popeye arm. :) All taken by my lovely husband.

Such efficient use of space! Everything is nicely compartmentalized. I like.
