Bon | Graphic Design & Illustration

My name is Carolyn Jakielski and I am a graphic designer, illustrator, and certified yoga instructor. I specialize in wedding invitations, stationery, and business branding. When I'm not designing you can usually find me teaching and practicing yoga, running, adventuring with my husband, and getting messy in the kitchen. Thank you for checking out my page! If you have any questions, or just want to say hello please email me at [email protected].

I was lucky enough to witness sunrise while driving to the yoga studio this morning to teach my first couple classes of the day. I took a few pictures but they just didn't do it justice so I decided to paint it instead. ☀️ If you missed me this morning, join me tonight at 7:45pm for yin yoga at @yogaunited_atbrighton this class is the perfect way to end your day! #sunrise #sunset #followingthesun #sunrisetosunset #earth #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #watercolor #illustration

Cleaning, organizing and re-organizing my studio space, it's amazing what a fresh space can do-- also, spring helps! Here's an illustration I stumbled upon in an old sketchbook.. Happy Tuesday! 🍃🌼🌷#inmystudio #springcleaning #spring #fengshui #illustration #watercolor #design #designer #wunderbar

April's full moon is called the "pink moon" and is named after pink wild flowers that grow in the US and Canada this time of year. It marks the beginning of spring and can also be referred to as the "egg moon" or "fish moon". Although the moon won't actually be the color pink, I still enjoy visualizing and painting it that way! 🌝 ... In other news, I'm teaching a yin class tonight at 7:45 at @yogaunited_atbrighton and would love to see you there! 🌸 #fullmoon #pinkmoon #moon #watercolor #illustration #design #yinyoga #yin #yoga

I always get so inspired this time of year with all of the different colors, smells, flowers and shapes that start popping up. And I'm always in awe of nature and how it continues to shift and change over time. I got this quote the other day from my tea bag: "Nature does not hurray, yet everything is accomplished" -Lao Tzu and that particular quote has been sitting with me ever since. It's a nice reminder to slow down and remember that we are all exactly where we are meant to be in this exact present moment of time and space. We as humans go through cycles and continuously change just like the Earth does, but with every change comes new growth and new opportunities. Needless to say I am so excited for spring and I am so excited for the many new projects that I've been working on and developing. Here's a glimpse of some floral patterns I've been painting and playing around with. Happy sunshine everyone! #humanity #earth #nature #spring #watercolor #watercolorpatterns #floraldesign #illustration #design #wip #flowers
