Introducing Glacier Days 🧚‍♀️ My newest quirky, sans-serif font that's available on Creative Market!

This one was inspired by Glacier's welcome sign in the west entrance, and these photos are all my own. A friend and I spent a long weekend camping, hiking, and eating all the wild huckleberries and thimbleberries we could find last August ⛰️🫐

I love this font because it was designed to have all the national park feels. Now that our national parks and forests are under attack, it feels more important than ever to remember how special and beautiful these places are. And what better way to honor them than with creating nature-inspired art?

Glacier Days is made for branding, logos, signage, merchandise, posters, and so much more. I hope you love it!

New era loading 👀

Lucky Bee’s new website went live this week! I’ve been working on this since last summer so I’m so happy it’s finally out in the wild. Internal projects have always been hard for me as client work has always come first. Which is why almost all of this was done late at night or on the weekend 🙈 but such is small business life!

Happy five years and some change Lucky Bee 💛 Excited about this new era! 🦋

Check out the new site:

Today we’d like to introduce you to Josie Raczynski. Hi Josie, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers? In 2016, I graduated from UW-Madison with degrees in journali...

Last month we won the category of marketing & graphic design for the Twin Cities Collective Marketing Education for Biz & Creators Page Best of 2021 Awards! ✨

Three years ago this week I (Josie) registered this lil LLC and it feels so good to get recognition for our hard work over the years. ❤️

To be super honest, I'm a perfectionist and have a running list of things I'd like to improve on, so winning this definitely brings up feelings of imposter syndrome. But over the years I've been committed to improving in every area of business—most importantly my skill set and client experience. This past year, I've stepped into the role of being a "boss" and am still learning how to do that too 😅

So a huge thank you goes out to everyone who voted for us, and more importantly to all my clients who have stuck with me over the years as I've navigated growing/improving this business. 💛 I appreciate you all so much!

Also thank you to the TC Collective for putting all of this together! I know it took a lot of work but it's been so cool to watch other friends and clients win other categories as well ☺️

We were awarded the best graphic design and marketing in Twin Cities by the Twin Cities Collective in 2021.
