My life has been pretty busy lately. These last few months have been a whirlwind as I wrapped up a semester of teaching and began the summer working on some exciting illustration and design projects. I absolutely love the work I do, and feel super fortunate that I get to do what I love full-time. But like everyone there are days when I just feel overwhelmed and tired. So you can imagine how excited I was when I was invited to partner up with Carnival<\/a> Cruise Line and use my illustration skills to interpret the Carnival experience.<\/p>\n

Using my own busy life as inspiration (and imagining yours as well) I created this little illustration\/animation. Taking us from our daily stresses to carefree days filled with sunshine, refreshing waters, and fruity cocktails is how I interpret a Carnival cruise.<\/p>\n
