SwimSpot.com Update


This is the newly updated SwimSpot.com website that I re-designed, which launched last week! I am excited to see the new Rajman.com, which will be coming soon.

SwimSpot Super Graphics


I love creating super graphics, like the one above, that I designed to go behind our cash wrap at the Newport Beach Fashion Island SwimSpot store.

Lisa Vogel & Gretchen Christine Rossi Collaboration


I really enjoyed planning in-store appearances with our swimwear designer, Lisa Vogel, and Gretchen Christine Rossi from the Real Housewives of Orange County as they collaborated on their new line, Gretchen X LUXE.  This one took place during the summer at our Santa Monica SwimSpot location.

Pretty Crafty


While we're on the subject of decorating and remodeling, I thought I'd post this wreath I made for the Holidays.  It actually lights up!

Charming Vintage Remake


I love recycling old furniture! Check out this dresser that was given to me by a friend.  Instead of putting it to the curb, I sanded it down and put a good coat of paint on it instead.  Unique, turquoise dresser knobs from Anthropologie, a coordinating vintage frame, and antique, peacock-embroidered table runner give this little dresser all the character it needs to look charming.

Eco-Decorating/Remodeling HGTV Style



Scored this awesome mirror for $15 at the Salvation Army.  After a coat of eco-friendly paint, it looks brand new and adds dimension to my bedroom in Huntington Beach.
