Coco & Mingo
Jessica Keala About the Blog
Coco & Mingo is a design blog that focuses on what is aesthetically pleasing to me: a fusion of home decor, design, hand lettering and calligraphy, and simple yet sweet DIY projects. My mission is to bring the simple love of hand lettering and creativity into the lives of readers whether through free printables and downloads, or inspiration to make their own projects. About Jessica
I’m originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, but I currently reside in Brooklyn. My future dreams include: opening up a quaint shop and studio, living the bicoastal dream, and traveling the world in search of good food, design inspiration, grand adventures, and great friends.
Dinners with Friends
Julia Spiess About the Blog
What started in 2011 as an online platform to share photos with family and friends has slowly evolved into a blog with over 250 posts—it’s an ever-growing photo journal chronicling dinners, capturing friends in their homes, trying recipes, talking food, and sharing the occasional culinary travel find. Dinners with Friends is a visual diary of all of the above. About Julia
Born in Germany, I grew up aspiring to be an art historian who also wanted see the world. I travel frequently for work, but San Francisco has been my home base for the past 16+ years. A wearer of many hats (producer, web designer, and passionate road-tripper), I’m never without a trusted camera in my tote bag.
