new portfolio site (sort of).

So this year Adobe made the decision to abandon Behance Prosite portfolio sites and encouraged users to migrate to their new platform, Adobe Portfolio. I put off migrating my own site for the longest time but with the deadline fast approaching (June 1 is the last day for Prosite) I have officially made the transition! Initially I found this force of change pretty irritating but in the spirit of making lemonade out of lemons, I’ve used this as an opportunity to synchronize the design of my blog site and my portfolio site. Check it out when you have the chance at www.lizchapin.com.

 

 

to start.

“A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image.”
― Joan Didion

Little bits was my childhood nickname within my family. The pseudonym had nothing to do with my being especially little (I was 9 lbs at birth), but applied to me in that it sounds similar to Elizabeth (my name) when spoken. While thinking about creating a blog I made of list of things which felt intrinsic to how I see the world and a theme that appeared throughout was nostalgia or sentimentality about the places I have called home. I have always loved to collect beautiful and interesting things, especially anything which feels personally sentimental. My hope for this blog is to create an evolving scrapbook of collections or moments which speak to me. Little bits of inspiration.

I am an interior design enthusiast and a graphic designer by profession. I am fortunate to live in a beautiful neighborhood in an incredible city where beauty and history are everywhere I look.
