I am a designer who lives in code, entrepreneur, and an idea incubator driven to make our world a better place.
Just a few hours ago we debuted our fresh, new branding for Style Hatch along with a taste of our full site launching in April. After over a decade of creating sites, campaigns and brand strategies for large brands from Activision to Microsoft, we have shifted out entire studio to create fresh designs for individuals with the goal of helping you show off your inner genius.
We can’t wait to show off everything we have lined up! Now for a few fun facts, since our first theme Backburner we have launched 15 themes, pushed live 109 updates to the themes, and answered 27,697 support emails as of yesterday morning.
A part of the refresh we even had fancy new letterpress cards created just in time for SXSW. Check out a shot of the cards on Dribbble.
Heading to SXSW Interactive this year? Danielle Morrill put together a great article on how to get the most out of SXSW including prepping your calendar (don’t do it) and prepare like a soccer mom on crack.
This year our entire Style Hatch team—all three of us @Moore, @iJess and @krisnicolemoore—are packing and heading to Austin for the week. We’re putting together the details for a mini-event since we would love to meet you in person and buy you a drink.
Email us at sxsw@stylehatch.co or send us a tweet @stylehatch with #sxsw, and we will hook you up next week.

How did I overlook this session at SXSW?
It was exciting to hear the Tumblr engineers discuss at Technically Speaking some of the new technologies and services like Scribe and Hadoop that help them improve the performance of the platform and allow for an insane amount of growth in the future. Tumblr’s future is incredibly bright.
Hey look at that… I managed to make it into David’s shot at the far right.
Tired of all the SXSW banter on Twitter before it has even begun? Install the Not at SXSW extension by Lanyrd to filter out the noise—mine included.
Although it’s still a work in progress, it feels great to have a fresh design live! Also, check out the SXSW Live Blog where I’ll be posting a feed of all the happenings here in Austin. If you’re in town for SXSW make sure you hit me up at @newezra. I’d love to meet as many people as possible.
