I have been on an extraordinary adventure over the past year. I packed for a big move, moved into the "money pit", and now finally have my craft room back. I am excited to be crafting and creating art again after a long absence. The main reason we moved was so that I could have more space, and that took a sacrifice. Now that I'm back, I would love to pursue some new opportunities. See the next section "Interests"!
Interests
My interests include designing for manufacturers, magazines, stores, and idea books as well as writing articles and project instructions.
Styles & Techniques
My style varies depending on the project and the look that I'm trying to achieve. I have a clear passion for creating fresh new techniques that have never been seen before.
