Hello everyone and Happy New Year! I am super excited to get this year started off with a "bang," and thanks to my good book-blogging friend Audra over at Auggie Talk, we are both hosting an awesome Blog Makeover Giveaway with some sweet new designs from yours truly!
So, as some of you may know, I have been working very hard over the past year to start my own design business-- the result is now Lea Christine Designs, a web and graphic design studio that offers full custom designs for Blogger and WordPress, AND includes totally original vector graphics as well!
Design is something I absolutely love doing. Creating a design for someone-- to make their blog or website reflect their own creative and unique personality-- that is my passion! After all, your site is your online home. It should look and feel welcoming to both yourself and your readers, and it should show off everything that makes you a great, individual, awesome person!
With that being said, Audra from Auggie Talk and I chatted about hosting a giveaway where I can create some beautiful and unique new design looks for you as well-- to find out more, read below and fill out that Rafflecopter form at the bottom! I would love to work with you on a brand-new design for your site this year!
Xoxo,
~About Lea Christine Designs~
Lea Christine Designs is a web and graphic design studio that specializes in fully-custom vector graphics for both Blogger and WordPress sites. I am the designer behind the scenes, whipping up awesome new designs to fit every client's unique style and personality! Whether it's drawing by hand and creating totally one-of-a-kind graphics, or rolling up my sleeves to get into coding, my goal is to bring your creative visions to life!
~Didn't You Used to Blog?~
Yes, I sure did-- and I really miss my book blog a ton, and am STILL hopeful to start blogging again in the future! (I'm really not fibbing, I have some new books I'm planning to review in the VERY near future!)
But how did I get into design you may ask? Well that's an interesting question, because 3 years ago I definitely didn't know that this is what I'd be doing. In fact, I went to school to become a librarian and spent a few years working on this very much-loved book blog called "LC's Adventures in Libraryland." Like many people, I started blogging having absolutely no clue what I was doing. But little by little, I built up a following, and started experimenting with the design of my blog. The problem was, all of those Blogger templates were such a snooze, and none of the graphics I could find on iStock or the web looked like "me"-- and plus I didn't want to pay for stock images. So I decided to make my own-- people seemed to like what I was doing on my own site, asked me to help them with theirs, and that's pretty much how I started designing!
~Lea Christine Designs Today~
A little over two years a later, and I am doing web and graphic design full-time. It's a challenging but very worthwhile business, where I learn something new everyday, and have had the opportunity to design over 40 fully-custom designs for some amazing clients (Audra being one of them!) I know how important it is to have your own "space" on the web that reflects YOU and who you are, and that is probably the number one thing I aim for when designing. If you've been thinking of getting a makeover for your site, or just need a few extras to jazz up your blog, please feel free to stop over to my design shop at Lea Christine Designs and see what I can offer you :)
~My Web Designs~
Here are just a few examples of some of my favorite web designs!
~My Graphics~
All of the graphics I make are 100% custom and made-from-scratch-- I listen to exactly what you say explaining what you want your graphics to look like, sit down with a pencil and paper, and sketch out those graphics before making them digital. This ensures that only YOU will have those graphics (no stock images!) and they look just the way you envisioned.
~Come Visit Me!~
If you've been thinking about maybe getting a new design for your site-- or even if you could just use a few extras like a new drop-down menu or Facebook cover to make your online home look a bit more snazzy-- I'd absolutely LOVE to chat with you!! Below you will find links to all the ways you can reach me ♥
