I
was born with a passion for design. I grew up in a home filled with
creativity, art and adventure. My mother is a 3rd generation seamstress
who worked from home. No matter where we lived, there was always one
room set up as the sewing/crafting room. If we weren't sewing or
crafting then we were at the fabric store... or on the never ending
quest to find yet another new fabric store.
I grew up living all
over the west coast. I was born in La Jolla, California and no matter
how far north we traveled, we always returned to the San Diego area.
When I was in high school my parents decided to move back east. So, we
packed up and drove all the way from California to West Virginia. It
took us 9 days. We took our time and stopped anywhere that looked
interesting. What an adventure!
Fast Forward to present day....
I'm now a wife and mother of 5 children. We live in Cleveland, Ohio. I
try every day to fill our home with creativity, art and adventure just
as my parents did. I still sew and craft in my spare time. My mother
and I still go on quests to find new fabric and craft stores.
I
stumbled upon graphic and web design quite by accident. I was attending
The Art Institue of Pittsburgh for Interior Design. In color theory
class we had to use Photoshop. Once I started playing around with it
and realized what I could do with it...I never looked back!
