It’s National Donut Day! 🍩 Which flavor of donut is your favorite? Mine is anything chocolate 😋 This gift card design is part of my gift card personal project, and it was fun coming up with this idea for Dunkin’ inspired by their original expressive script logo from the 50s #nationaldonutday #donut

As I reflect on Women’s History Month, I was inspired to make a lettering piece dedicated to five trailblazing women who embody the quote "Because of you we can do more than dream." 💫 The silhouettes I featured in order: Madam C. J. Walker, Maria Tallchief, Kamala Harris, Patsy Mink & Jean Purdy.
