When I think of the women who inspire me, more often than not they are entrepreneurs who juggle a large family, a prominent digital presence and maintain superhuman work hours. I can’t even imagine having children (we knew this about me, though) let alone trying to push a business, freelance work, and a blog while playing mom and wife. I truly believe some women thrive off a full plate and Gabrielle Blair is certainly one of them.
A graphic designer and art director by trade, Gabrielle is also the mother of six children, the creator of one of the most celebrated lifestyle blogs, Design Mom, and the co-founder of social media community for women Kirtsy as well as the annual Alt Design Summit. Like her sister Jordan Ferney of Oh Happy Day!, Gabrielle picked up and moved to France for the year with her family and documents their adventures on her blog. I’m exhausted just thinking about how she manages it all! I love her photos from Normandy and her fresh take on life in France….
