By the time you read this, we will be in Mexico. But that's okay - we've earned this one! We've been working our little designer fingers to the bone here in Portland, trying our best to ignore the lovely March weather.

So here's what we've been up to. We know it's been a while since we've written to you and we apologize. We hope it's been worth your wait. Don't forget that you can follow us on Twitter for more frequent updates. And less formal, too. Not all uptight, like our newsletters.

We will be back March 29th and ready for business. And our new iPad. Ray can't wait. If anything urgent comes up, you can still email us.

Our goal was to create a straightforward, information website that captures the relaxed northwest feel of Cynthia and her work. This meant not only clearly defining her practice areas, but also giving her a voice, through her blog, and noting her upcoming lectures. Read More or visit now.
