Welcome! I am Kathy McGraw of KMG, a graphic designer, east coast gal transplanted to beautiful southern California/ San Diego. This is some of what inspires me. I like to think of it as a mix of west coast bohemian and east coast folk meets Mumbai meets Paris. I'm drawn to eclectic hand done looks with lots of prints and texture, particularly Indian prints and French style. I love branding, packaging, hand lettering, hand printed designs, block printing, screen printing, letterpress and illustration...

Watkins products in a beauty supply the other day and was reminded of how much I liked the old-time feeling of the label designs. The packaging designs were also shown on the blog the Dieline awhile back.

Love & Toast is a brand by Margot Elena who has been praised by her detailed approach to the creative process, and her amazing ability to develop beautifully designed and commercially successful brands. Margot Elena also developed the very successful brands Lollia and TokyoMilk. Love & Toast is Margot Elenas' natural line. She refers to it as “Brit Pop Folk Art" from which she drew from Japanese design and also has a feel of Swedish iconography…
