On Location: Sayulita, Mexico
Sayulita, Mexico — the perfect sleepy surfing town just North of Puerto Vallarta– I was lucky to head over and explore this town on a recent trip to PV. I had a friend who had rented a house for the week there, and he encouraged me to visit. I was assured an authentic Mexican coastal town experience, and I was not let down! We hired a driver for the day to take us the short 45 minute drive North, then wait the afternoon while we explored, and take us home in the evening. Although in recent years, I have seen more and more write ups about Sayulita, I was happily…

A classic court house, art deco theatre, turn of the century hotel and other historical details are surprising for such a young city (compared to the rest of the world.) The bustling downtown and “theatre” district are alive in the day with county workers (Redwood City is the head of San Mateo…

Welcome to the Wanderlust Designer!
I’m that person who’s bent over taking a picture of a metal grate in the road. I’m the one who’s walking in the neighborhood that’s not in the tour book. I’m the gal sketching the pattern from the detail on the side of the building. I’m the one buying an item purely because the packaging is so cool.

This blog is my spot to share the findings from my adventures – from photographs to patterns, palettes to products, textures to typography and much more. Come explore the world with…
