Design Envy

There are three ladies that immediately come to mind when I think of rock star designers that I aspire to be like. They work hard, do a brilliant job, and are extremely successful. Oh yes, and they love what they do (as they should!). These women are definitely shining examples of the success you can achieve when you pour your heart into your work. I’m just one of many recognizing them, and I hope you can draw some inspiration from them as well.

Meagan Fisher has a brilliant eye for design and a great handle on writing clean, accessible code. She shares some great links, tutorials, and ideas on her blog.

Jessica Hische is well known for her beautiful typography and amazing illustrations. She has become an extremely successful freelancer shortly after leaving school. She attributes her amazing typography skills to drawing it day in and day out for three years.

Nubby Twiglet covers design, typography, business, fashion, and many more subjects on her highly popular blog. Her  keen sense of design and grasp on a well run business has taken her far, and she’s happy to share her tips to success.

I try to keep an eye on emerging designers to draw inspiration and am happy as I watch them grow with each success. Along with that, their work is enviable, and as Jessica Hische says, “Envy can be a big motivator.”
