Hi Everyone!
For those of you heading out to PrintSource today, come by booth A4, where I will be presenting along side my good friend Kimberly Hall of Nottene.
Over the past few months I’ve been creating a new library of over 100 prints for the new seasons. Looking forward to sharing them with you guys.
Feel free to fwd along…I’d love to start meeting people this week. Thank You!

Good question!
I haven’t started competing blogs with the same name if that’s what you’re wondering…
So I take a lot of pictures, we all do. I’ve needed a faster, off-the-cuff solution for some time now, a place to store half-baked ideas and imagery in progress.
I’ve always loved Tumblr’s interface and shareability features, so I figured it’s time to experiment outside of WordPress and just use this domain as “Pattern Pulp Lite” or “Pattern Pulp on the Go”, if you will. Feel free to follow along, join the conversation, or post your own pics.
Thanks!
Shayna
I’m delighted to announce that Pattern Pulp was recently featured in The Wall Street Journal’s Career section by Alexandra Levit. Check it out here!
It’s been a pretty gratifying week so far and frankly, we’re just excited to just keep the ball rolling! To kick off the relaunch, I designed a handful of magnetic moodboards with our signature pattern to give away to the first 50 readers who sign up for the newsletter. Turns out, we have a few left and wouldn’t want them to go to waste! Who doesn’t need a place to organize their tangible finds? We know we do.
So! For a chance to take one of these beauties home, please sign up for our newsletter and share a few details. It helps us tailor our content for you. And don’t worry – Pattern Pulp doesn’t share or sell any of our members’ information.
Get inspired!
I’m thrilled to announce a new and improved version of a concept that’s been brewing for the past four years. I can finally say that Pattern Pulp looks the way I envisioned it to look way back when – when my brother and I were tossing around domain names in my east village apartment, talking about my goals for the future.
When I finally put “pen to paper” a year ago, my intent was to create a forum for new ideas and inspiration; a place where creative professionals could brush up on a niche pocket of the visual design industry. Along the way, I’ve been unbelievably lucky, as I’ve had a chance to work with some incredible minds. From my generous contributors, to my all-important clients, to my opinionated friends, everyone’s feedback has helped shape the direction of this ever-evolving site.
In addition to the daily blog feed, here are a few new features to look out for:
1. Artist Profiles: A database of the most exciting pattern designers from across the globe.
2. Events: Relevant events to satisfy professionally, culturally and socially.
3. Jobs: Where the creative dots connect and people can find their next gig.
4. Bookstore: A place to acquire recommended reads.
Additionally, a few special shout outs!
1. Dan Woodward, my talented developer has been a patient, problem-solving wonder.
2. Jennifer Machiaverna, my good friend with a serious knack for content strategy has been on hand to nip and tuck along the way.
3. Elizabeth Sigal, the best business cheerleader a friend could have.
4. And last but not least, my boyfriend Justin, who has been a true support and source of inspiration for my creative musings from day one.
And without further adieu, take a look, leave a comment, sign up and let the crew here know what you think!
