One of my most favorite, tugs-at-the-heart Christmas songs has a very special meaning this year.✨❤️ I would normally use @adobe Illustrator on desktop to do type layouts but challenged myself on this one by trying out the app version on the iPad. My patience was very much tested to say the least. 😹 *** @oliviaherrickdesign @hollyjollydesignchallenge * * * #hollyjollydesignchallenge #michicoodesigns #michicoodraws #typelayout #procreate #womenillustrators #womenwhodraw #womenwhoillustrate #womenwhodesign #womenwhocreate #artistsoninstagram #creativity #designer #graphicdesign #illustration #art #artwork #design #AdobeIllustrator #digitalart #MyGrownUpChristmasList https://www.instagram.com/p/CITXXvjFec-/?igshid=1qb59ymg820b3

Growing up in the tropics, I’ve always been fascinated with Winter and how it would feel like spending the holidays where there’s snow. When I visited a friend in South Dakota during Fall years back, she brought me to this place where they grew pine trees that would later on be sold as Christmas Trees and my imagination just went wild seeing in my head how that place would look like if it started to snow. I hope, someday soon, to wrap myself up in cozy Winter coats and experience a real Winter Wonderland. ✨❄️🌲 *** @oliviaherrickdesign @hollyjollydesignchallenge * * * #hollyjollydesignchallenge #michicoodesigns #michicoodraws #isawgirldesigns #isawgirldraws #womenillustrators #womenwhodraw #womenwhoillustrate #womenwhodesign #womenwhocreate #artistsoninstagram #creativity #designer #graphicdesign #illustration #art #artwork #design #procreate #digitalart #Winter https://www.instagram.com/p/CIQuYylFvaJ/?igshid=eux74itl3lod

Borrowing the lines in @juliannetarroja’s song, Grateful, for this prompt: “Coz I’ve been in places where I couldn’t even see the light of day... And then you came...” This year has been such a tough journey. But I’ll forever be grateful for the ones who held my hands and helped me hold on and stay afoot.✨ *** @oliviaherrickdesign @hollyjollydesignchallenge * * * #hollyjollydesignchallenge #michicoodesigns #michicoodraws #isawgirldesigns #isawgirldraws #womenillustrators #womenwhodraw #womenwhoillustrate #womenwhodesign #womenwhocreate #artistsoninstagram #creativity #designer #graphicdesign #illustration #art #artwork #design #procreate #digitalart #grateful https://www.instagram.com/p/CIOKRfqFcyO/?igshid=17wcztwv94bfd
