Chocolate Cactus Designs  |  The Chocolate Blog bio picture

well, hello there!

Welcome to the Chocolate Cactus blogsite.  A little of this and a little of that, all rolled into one big ball of goodness.  Here you will be able to read the latest, see recent works and read random babbles all in one place.  You're one lucky duck.

With nine years of design experience and an accomplished marketing background, owner and creative director Jodi Bell prefers a straightforward, personalized approach to her design work. "Everything I design is done with marketing in mind," states this former designer for a Houston-based magazine. It is her philosophy that "Standout designs equal effective marketing". The result is that the marketing and branding process is made infinitely easier for her clients. Jodi's portfolio reveals her love of typography and clean, no-frills designs. It is this that makes her designs standout creations that market themselves. 


Chocolate Cactus offers a variety of design work. Jodi's talents include creating complete identities to collateral materials and logo designs. Aside from logos, one of her specialties is custom one-of-a-kind announcements and wedding invitations. Because her clean, fresh designs appeal to a wide variety of industries, her client list includes not only photographers worldwide but also boutiques, auto manufacturers and just about everything in between.

Jodi has a special affinity for her photographer clients, most likely because she's a photographer herself, having won accolades and recognition for her photographic work. A self-professed font queen, Jodi lives in the Houston, Texas area with her husband and four sons. She continues the hunt for clean, fabulous typography...over 3,500 fonts and counting.

NEW – birth announcements with a “little” bonus

Several of of you have asked if I would do some announcements that were more elegant versus the modern I usually do, so here you go!

As a bonus, I also designed some “Skinny Minnies” that are folded 2×7 bookmarks – one to coordinate with each of the announcements. Use these as you wish – as thank you’s for the new mom to send out, as calling cards for baby, or even as little tiny birth announcements – the tiny possibilities are endless!

There are 3 cards in the set, and 3 coordinating bookmarks. The cards are 5×7 and the bookmarks are 2×7 designed as folded (so the size of a business card when folded in half). All are 300 resolution and completely editable when it comes to colors. Because of that, this makes these cards extremely versatile – make them pink, blue, green, keep them black for a sleeker look, etc. Remember that fonts play a huge part as well! Different font/color combos can give a different feel to these.

These are priced at $40 for all 6 pieces. You can send payment via PayPal to jodi (at) chocolatecactus.com, and be sure to put “Simply Elegant” birth announcements as the subject so I know what to send you! They will be sent within 48 hours of payment.
