I try to keep the bragging on my kids down to a minimum. The only time that I include them on the Nunn Design Blog is to provide you a glimpse of how expansive creativity is in the life of my family. The Nunn Family has been involved in the Port Townsend Wearable Art Show […]
I think that every product developer or designer fears that someday they just won’t “hit the mark.” That they will find they have run out of items to design or ideas of things to create. I’M NOT THAT DESIGNER! This 2018 Summer Collection was a blast to play and design with from start to finish. The […]

Learn […]

I know I’m not unique with my window display obsession. I mean, what is there not to love when they are stop-in-your-tracks beautiful. Besides being little art scenes with the important purpose of making us want to somehow be part of it, I find window displays to be incredibly inspiring for my jewelry making process. […]
Another favorite post to write! One in which we celebrate all the great designers that create and educate using the Nunn Design Collection. Here is a look of this month’s line up!

Developing products that sell takes a discipline of moving through the 3 stages of product development: Exploration, Elimination and Execution. If you feel discouraged because what you created didn’t “work”, it might be due to one of these 3 stages needing a little more product development tweaking. Over this past week I have posted a 3-part […]
Developing products that sell takes a discipline of moving through the 3 stages of product development: Exploration, Elimination and Execution. Taking shortcuts during any of these stages will be reflected in your sales results. If you haven’t yet had a chance, you might be interested in taking some time to read the two blog posts […]

I always feel a wee bit uncomfortable writing posts like this. My experience comes from 25 years of developing products for the stationery, gift, scrapbooking and jewelry industries.
