Over the weekend we celebrated two years of full-time desert living. We moved for a variety of reasons—a lower cost of living (though coming from San Francisco most places are), a desire to be more connected to nature, to work remotely as freelance designers, and simply because every time we came to Joshua Tree it […]
About this time last year, we were at Desert + Denim with our favorite sisters Megan and Jen Mussari, dreaming about creating a Joshua Tree bandana together. We wanted the whole bandana to be inspired by the plants and animals that live here, and ultimately go to benefit the natural world. We’re excited to have […]
On the New Moon, the earth, moon, and sun align making us unaware of the moon’s presence in the sky. Without the visual presence and glow of the moon, other celestial bodies typically hidden now shine brighter. Our chances of seeing the sky clearly are heightened on this day, making it a day of clarity […]
As a freelance designer, I’m constantly thinking of non-traditional ways to earn a living. In fact, it’s truly become harder and harder to describe what it is that I ‘do’ when people ask that routine question. I’m sure many others struggle with this as well… sometimes I just pick one thing and go with that […]
February is here, and has already brought with it some sunshine and beautiful weather. The doves and quail are back preparing for Spring, and we’ve been driving around town with our windows down. To set the scene, we’ve put together some of our favorite songs to listen to in the car with the soft breeze blowing in (and preferably Joshua Trees whizzing by).
After living in the desert for almost a year full-time now (we ditched city living in March of 2016), we’ve been able to experience the cacti surrounding us seasonally.
We’re beginning the new year by simplifying our lives, and finding simple pleasure in all of our senses. Music is such an integral part of our experience here in the desert. This playlist includes many of our recent favorites.
I’ve gotten a lot of requests in the last few months for prints of my Yoga Class pattern. I wanted to make the best quality prints possible, and decided to do a limited edition signed set of only 30 prints. They’re printed on cold-press paper, and I’m so happy with how they turned out! You […]
Since we launched the Joshua Tree House on Airbnb, its been an amazing experience seeing the talent that passes through there. Our guest book is filling up with beautiful sketches from guests, and we get to see incredible images people are sharing of the house on Instagram. We get so much excitement out of seeing […]
I recently worked with Casetify to create a collection of phone cases, laptop sleeves, and watch bands. Designing patterns is incredibly fun, but seeing them come to life on products is always the best part. Casetify shared the photo above on their Instagram, letting us all know that eggs and toast are not limited to […]
