I look at designsponge.blogspot.com daily.
I love that Grace Bonney is magnetic : she’s building a poweful brand and a strong community.
Observation about Grace by Three Layer Cake
Grace is extremely articulate and focused.
She has very clear ideas about what she likes and dislikes and makes no bones about it.
That’s not to say she’s brash—she’s the exact opposite, but even with her demure demeanor (Southern like her accent), she makes her opinion heard and respected.Grace started her blog with no agenda except to give an outlet to her uncontainable passion for design and all things beautiful.
design*sponge coverage is about everything that Grace finds beautiful. “It’s always been and will always be about what I like, what I find beautiful.
Grace has designed more opportunities to use her tremendous potential, which is, as of yet, hardly tapped. (Hard to believe given how far she’s gone! But true.)
