Big news, tiny prints, and a new market this weekend ✨

POSTSLINKSRECOMMENDATIONS

Dear Reader,

It’s been a busy and exciting few weeks here at At the Dot Design! Between new podcast episodes, fresh videos, and the launch of my Tiny Treasures Press print club, there’s been so much happening in the studio — and I can’t wait to share it all with you.

🐌 Tiny Treasures Press: Month One!

October marked the very first month of my print club, and I’m thrilled to say three amazing subscribers joined me for the launch. (If that was you — thank you! 💛). Remember, amazing things start small.

November’s print sign-ups are now open, and the theme is one of my favorites yet (a toad may or may not be involved). If you’ve been thinking about joining, sign-ups close on October 20, so there’s still time to grab your spot before I mail November's prints!

See You at the Makers Hive Market!

If you’re local to Pasadena, come say hi this Sunday, October 12, at the Makers Hive Market at the Pasadena Commons!

​

I’ll have my full line of prints, calendars, notebooks, and more — and I’ll be debuting something brand new: my mini print vending machine! It’s filled with tiny ocean-inspired prints and is honestly so fun to use. (You’ll definitely want to bring a friend for this one.)

🎧 In Case You Missed It

Art After Dark

​Why Personal Projects Matter — Stacie and I talk about the importance of personal projects—those just-for-fun creative sparks that reignite joy, build artistic growth, and remind us why we started making art in the first place.

Turning Sketches Into a Product: My Artist Calendar in Progress

In Part II of this three-part series, I share how I created my 2026 Fresh Picked artist calendar.

Thank you for being part of this creative adventure with me — whether you listen, watch, shop, or just cheer me on. It means the world to share both the art and the story behind it with you.

Hope to see you this weekend at the market, or in your mailbox soon!

Warmly,
