The Girl with Many Talents

starring, Ruthi Auda, a young twenty-something born and raised in Southern California with the talent and passion to making things. ruthi auda - maker/creater/artist/builder/photographer/baker/graphic designer/cardmaker/inspirer from birthday objects to her boyfriend,

...to baking tasty treats, to stationery/ graphic design...

to showing the world what she gets to do all day long...

...and TONS more, she's is one artistic gal - and a sweetheart to boot! Currently, she holds the position for Display Coordinator at Anthropologie in Newport Beach. You can see all the projects she's working on on her blog (along with her impeccable documentation and eye for composition - i guess that comes with the package, eh?) Her posts are so fun and interesting and creative. She's definitely an inspiration! What she does with her creativity and artistic talent motivates and inspires me to use my time wisely to make and learn and evolve in the art of doing. Ruthi and I met through my husband - they both were in the Art department at Biola University and over the past year, has become a beloved friend. In fact, she and her boyfriend came along on a family summer trip to Bass Lake for a few days.

And now she lives in LONG BEACH with the rest of us :) All that to say, Ruthi is great at what she does and I admire her for it. A real Jane of all trades :)
