I recently tuned in to listen to Terrica & Friends Town Hall: Healing Wounds & Bridging Gaps: An Honest Conversation about Race & Allyship in the Wedding Industry. Yes, I’m in the wedding industry, and that’s how I was made aware of this conversation taking place, but I didn’t go into it with my wedding industry hat on. I went into it to learn as an individual and to gain perspective and insight from others on a more personal level. (Not to mention, I feel like a majority of the conversation that happened needs to be heard by all, no matter your industry, to understand the learnings and unlearnings that need to happen among white people for us to dismantle systemic racism.) Because I’m a one-woman show at idieh design, I am the face of the brand. … Read More

Cricut: Meet the Maker – DIY Whimsical Wedding Stationery
It’s no secret that I adore my CRICUT EXPLORE™ and I jumped at the chance to design a DIY wedding invitation suite for their recently launch wedding collection. They asked me to focus on a whimsical theme, and since whimsical and playful are right up my alley, it was a no-brainer to create this DIY Whimsical Wedding Stationery suite. Since I had so many amazing ideas that were inspired by the whimsical theme, I brought the magical touch to the entire wedding suite. For a further look at the full DIY Whimsical Wedding Stationery theme, check out Part One & Part Two.

Expand Your Reach Podcast
This month, I did something I never thought I would do. Something a little bit terrifying (okay, a lot a bit terrifying), but super rewarding. If you guessed that I had a dance off with Usher, the answer is – not yet, but that’s still on the list of things to do. I guest starred on a podcast! I was interviewed by Dana Malstaff, founder of the Expand Your Reach podcast. Dana is a creator, innovator, strategist and a downright kick-ass #girlboss who loves Harry Potter just as much as I do. During our time, we chatted about my ‘why’ (& the journey I took to discover it), if I could do anything in the world what it would be, and how my dream of idieh design came to life. For more on my story, and maybe a thing or two that could add to yours, check out the podcast here: The Story Behind … Read More
