I’m an art director who is inspired by anything and everything I see – from the deep blues of the ocean to the peas lined up on my plate, and often both influences can wind up in the same design! I love simple, minimalist designs that radiate with vibrant color and fresh palettes, interesting patterns and speak-to-me typography. A great concept or the perfect copy line is something that I lose sleep over on a nightly basis! Stationery design is special because you are capturing a pivotal moment in someone’s life on paper: hey, we’re getting married; our new baby has arrived; John is going off to college. It’s a very emotional form of communication. www.carolfaziodesign.com
