This beautiful 5-6 year-old OES, Quinn, was welcomed home on Oct. 17, 2025. Quinn’s family found her on a rescue website about three months after losing their sweet boy, Fitzgerald. Their hearts were still heavy, but something about her just pulled them in. She was incredibly underweight, dealing with multiple infections, and had severely rotted teeth. They never learned what led her to be abandoned at the shelter, but it was clear she hadn’t been given the care or love she deserved. (And my goodness how that’s changed now.) Her furever family applied right away, interviewed, and drove to Austin to bring her home. From the moment she joined their family, they knew she was meant to be theirs.
Quinn has come such a long way since that day, and they’re so grateful she found her way to them. Quinn is spunky, sleepy and sweet and loves a good nap, her little (BIG) brother and having her hair in bows. (We cannot handle this!) However, she’d much rather not have to deal with the times she has to be away from her people.
Quinn is very routine-driven and every morning starts with a 2-mile walk, followed by breakfast, then getting her pigtails done for the day. After that, it’s pretty much nonstop wrestling with her big brother, Ballard. She’ll go all day like that until she crashes at night—usually on top of the pillows, as close to your head as she can get. (Sounds like the perfect day if you ask us!)
When Quinn came to her family, she was severely underweight and dealing with multiple long-standing infections. Since then, she’s gained a healthy amount of weight, had her bad teeth removed, and is now completely infection-free. She’s full of life, happy every single day, and easily the best part of the family. After losing Fitzgerald, their family was in a really dark place and they truly believe he sent Quinn to them. She came into their lives exactly when they needed her most and has brought so much light back into their home. She’s given Ballard a best friend and brought a kind of joy they didn’t think they’d feel again. She’s incredibly sweet, gentle, and just wants to make you happy. Quinn feels like a gift from Fitzgerald—and they’re so grateful she found her way to them. (And we couldn’t be happier for the human and furry members of this family to have a love story just like this!)

A lot of my customers and fellow designers ask me what my favorite tools are for web design and in particular, which platform I use. Figuring out which platform is the right one for building a website is a really important decision and I did a great deal of research on all of the options out there before landing on one. I ultimately decided to use the Without Code website builder. It combines simplicity and flexibility in design, which ensures I can deliver on features my clients want, but also isn’t so complicated that my client can’t contribute through their own account. In addition, the Without Code Worry-Free Hosting is extremely reliable and easy to use; in a few simple steps I can have the site up online for my clients.
Working in a creative industry is so fulfilling. The opportunity to explore my passion on a daily basis, while working with interesting and diverse companies is a dream come true. In honor of my love for the design world, I decided to share some of my favorite quotes! Creativity is nothing but a mind set free - Torrie T. Asai Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. - Steve Jobs Creativity is nothing but the way to solve new problems. - Diana Santos Digital design is like painting, except the paint never dries. - Neville Brody You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. - Maya Angelou
2019 is almost upon us and with it comes a new set of web design trends coming down the pike! While I’m careful to evaluate all new trends when it comes to design, I always make sure to stay up-to-date with what’s popular. The most notable trends emerging for 2019 include many design features, but also include functional concepts. Design features include 3D elements, such as illustrations, as well as a move towards sans serif logos. In terms of functionality, there has been a huge shift over the last several months towards accessible websites. It’s becoming increasingly important to ensure websites are easily accessible and understood by everyone regardless of ability. This means straightforward interfaces, easy to read text, and clear contrast. Each overarching concept should be taken with a grain of salt, but as the web evolves it’s so important that we evolve with it.
