Hello!

I’m guessing you’re here because you want to know something about my personality. And that’s smart – most of us spend more time with our co-workers than our families. So rather than give you a run-down of my career milestones, I thought I’d do something a little more personal. Keep scrolling for my TOP 10 THINGS ABOUT ME.

…

I’M A GEORGIA PEACH

I grew up in Watkinsville, GA. My childhood drawl is gone, but I will always love slow-cooked grits, pine trees and REM.

I CAN’T SEE ANYTHING
WITHOUT MY GLASSES

But I’ll never get Lasik. There’s something nice about waking up to a blurry world and choosing when I’m ready to bring it all into focus.

13-YEAR-OLD ME MADE THIS

When I was growing up no one pronounced my last name correctly. I decided I needed a “logo” to help clarify things. Apple Core + “e” = Courie. I put it on anything I could think of – notebooks, yearbooks, christmas cards. I had no idea what a graphic designer was at that time, but clearly I had found my calling.

“SOLVE” IS NOT A NOUN

It’s my biggest pet peeve. If you ask me, “What’s the solve for this?” I won’t be rude, but secretly I will want to punch you in the face.

I LIKE SHEEP

Maybe it’s because I’m an Aries, but I feel an affinity with most wooly, hooved creatures. Sheep, llamas, alpacas… LOVE. I even created a character named WINSLEY THE SHEEP who has his very own movies and story-books. Have you met him?

98% OF MY CLOSET IS BLUE

I love color! I just don’t love wearing it. Blue is my uniform — my Steve Jobs black turtleneck + jeans. Only blue. And less geeky.

I have a lot of favorite things.

I love being inspired by beauty in the world.

“SIMPLICITY, WIT, AND GOOD TYPOGRAPHY.”

— Michael Bierut

Words to live by – or at least, words to design by.
I am a minimalist at heart and always believe that less is more,
especially when it’s delivered with a wink.

I MAKE A GOOD BISCUIT

Sure lots of restaurants make a pretty good biscuit, but nothing compares to pulling a pan of homemade ones right out of the oven. Paired with my homemade strawberry jam…. mmmmmm.
