<p>One question I get over and over at market is, &#8220;So, what trends are you&#8217;re seeing?&#8221; The answer usually is, &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure — for now I&#8217;m taking pictures of everything I possibly can so I can make sense of it later, when I&#8217;m a bit less visually overwhelmed.&#8221; </p>



<p>And while it is only May, I am fairly certain that the design highlight of my year will be experiencing <a href="https://www.greetingcard.org/noted/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="*Noted">*Noted</a> and <a href="https://nynow.com/sf-now/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="SF NOW">SF NOW</a> in San Francisco a few weeks back. So while I&#8217;m still puzzling over those trends, I wanted to share some snaps from my junket through this exciting new marketplace. Please note, this post is just the first half of the marvelous makers I&#8217;m sharing — today we run through M — and all shadows, weird lighting and funny crops are all mine. </p>
