Well, my friends, after much hand-wringing, nit-picking, and a good dose of gentle peer pressure from my dear Alex, I have opened an Etsy shop!

Read MoreI recently connected on Facebook with a girl around my age who owns a soap company. She was ready to get the ball rolling again on her business after a break and wanted a redesign of her logo. We were able to work out an agreement and I got to work!

I've been lucky enough to be tasked with organizing, designing and laying out my office's year end report. There are a ton of reasons why this has probably been my favorite study abroad project to date.
