do best?

I like to Imagine through curiosity & create from nothing!

As a mom, I have sharpened my patience, quick problem solving, multi-tasking, solidity, and laughing off the small stuff with a sense of humor.

What do you love about what you do?

I love how visual communication can be simple or complex, but still beautiful. There is no limit to ones imagination. I also enjoy working hands-on, engaging with people, and not always behind a computer.

In a box of crayons, what color are you?

Orange combines the energy of red an the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness,
creativity, determination, attraction, success,
