Going Green with J.Sullivan Design

So in my first blog entry I pointed out that Jillian and I were sending green invites to wedding planners in the northeast as a way of promoting the new website.  Well, the green invites have been sent and they’re gorgeous!  If you’d like your own copy of the invite, or you know someone who might, [...]

Custom-Made Stamps

Motif: (noun) a distinctive and recurring form, shape, figure, etc., in a design, as in a painting or on wallpaper (or on one of Jillian’s invitations).

Wedding Board - A Little Glamour in Boston

This is my first post on our new blog! I have always been a fan of wedding and inspiration boards. It’s actually something I have been doing since art school. When I meet with a bride, or any client whose celebration I’m working on, I create inspiration boards in my head. From our very [...]

Women in Business

I just got back from picking up my dog, Paul, at his doggie daycare in Belmont, MA. I heard about these kinds of places maybe 6 years ago, and I thought they sounded absolutely ridiculous. Now I know that Paul would get nowhere near the amount of exercise or socialization that he does, [...]

J.Sullivan Design is Open for Business!

Jillian and I met for a great meal at “Strip T’s” in Watertown, MA, last night-she had a turkey burger with goat cheese, and I had a chicken and artichoke quesadilla. The restaurant’s sassy name caught our interest and got us talking about our business’s own marketing techniques once we were there. Currently, we’re promoting [...]
