Looks are deceptive
Christine nominated Jacqui Faye of JFaye Designs in Arizona, calling her a "Rennaisance woman" ... So we went into her design site, (link #1 below) and saw, yes, some rather nice branding, design work, and even packaging. She has designed a lot of web sites.
But then I caught wind of her "Red Sexy Shoes" site... whoa! Jacqui appears to have a second, parallel existance. Then we discovered her blog -- whoa again -- and scrolled and scrolled. What fun. A little tawdy, a little bawdy and a lot of fun.
This is Jacqui Faye's 'day job' web site Sexy Red Shoes
Maura Jarve: stylish clean
Justin Seibert suggested we go and visit the site of Maura Jarve. We went, and we saw some rather clean and distinct design work. The above graphic is a "rough" of the site's logo. Justin writes: 
She's done a lot of work for us for our clients on landing pages and Web sites and has a great eye for not only creating something aesthetically pleasing, but helps with eye flow and conversions as well.

Virginia Robles-Villalba: Spirits Awaken
From the roots of Puerto Rican immigrants, Virginia Robles-Villlalba reflects a distinct connection to the past.
Although her print and publishing design work is traditional, clean and un-cluttered, growing up in the slums and projects of New York provides her with a unique cultural, political and economic vision. Full story : Virginia's web site See some of Virginia's Print Design
Veerle Pieters : remix
We introduced you to Veerle back in Designing Women 2008, and a lot of water has gone under the bridge. Veerle's blog became famous around the world for her tutorials -- although most of those design links have gone dead, thank goodness her "Creating a ribbon in Adobe Illustrator" tutorial is still live.
Everything has evolved for Veerle, the design site pushes the envelope on web design, and her Blog continues to be a huge inspiration for millions of pairs-of-eyes from all around the world... having gone through a "v2.0" and now, v3.0 Don't miss : Veerle's blog 3.0 Veerle's blog 2.0
Gender Studies Symposium
Last year's surf took us to the Lewis & Clark's Gender Studies Symposium where students, faculty members, and featured guests lead three days of discussions on topics including how biology influences identity and how science shapes parenthood. Here's a revisit to that event which took place after our issue ...
