Very nice. I wish more local designers marketed themselves better. A website about their products or philosophy would be helpful.
i agree that local (and just small scale) designers seem to have a tough time marketing themselves (as in, they often don't), but i have to say jesse is taking the right steps: she has lovely tags, something many people over look. it's a great first step. i think the other issue is that most local designers do this more as a hobby, and just don't have the time (or money) to dedicate to a full on marketing effort. designing is something they fit in between employment/school/family etc. but hopefully with time they can make the transition to making it into something that pays some of the bills. and until then, it's just a part of their charm!
Very true. I love the attention to detail many small scale designers put into their work. Especially, beautifully crafted tags. Thanks for your response :)
