Ginger Abernathy Designs is now GinAbe Designs! 

​

GinAbe is more than an amalgam of the designers first and last name. The word GinAbe has meaning. It represents enlightenment and intuition, able to unite both the feminine and masculine allowing one to create imaginary worlds. All superb elements for creating great design. Who knew!
