This little business of mine began as a small stationery hobby in 2007 when I did a few jobs for friends… Little did I know how it would evolve into what it is today! A lot has changed over the years, including a couple more kids and a 1,000 mile move from North Carolina to New York, but I am proud to say that I am still a one-woman show, working out of my home studio, while my four kids are either napping or at school. My product line has slowly evolved from stationery into freelance graphic design services over the years, and most recently into cases for smartphones and tablets, and melamine plates which consist of my unique and original designs. I am thrilled to be a part of the Etsy community, and am happy that you're taking the time to learn about me. :)

I am a self-taught graphic designer and school-taught business marketing professional, with a natural gravitation towards current trends (while not being trendy). I possess the combined experience, talent & style that small businesses and start-ups need in today's highly competitive entrepreneurial world.

Based in beautiful Upstate NY, but working with a nationwide clientele, my specialities include creative logo design, print marketing design and fulfillment (including but not limited to post cards, business cards, brochures, catalogs, packaging), social media profiles & informational web design.

Here on Etsy, I sell a variety of stylish and original gifty-type goods, including personalized iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire and Samsung Galaxy cases, personalized melamine plates for children, custom designed nursery wall art, monogrammed stationery & plenty more!

Although design is a huge part of my life, my greatest achievement is becoming a mom to four amazing boys. As you can probably imagine, my husband and I spend a lot of time on the sidelines of the soccer and baseball fields, taking the kids on weekend adventures, helping with homework, folding a never-ending laundry pile, washing a never-ending sink full of dirty dishes, stocking the always-empty pantry and fridge, applying band-aids, wiping tears & cuddling. We recently adopted our adorable goldendoodle, Mabel, and have all been having so much fun with her as well.

TEN more random things about me :)

1. I was born and raised in Oswego, NY, the snow capital of the world. Ok, slight exaggeration, but it's up there on the top 5 I am sure!
2. I have one brother, and always imagined that I would have one boy and one girl as well… Well, we know how that turned out.
3. I don't drink enough water & sometimes go half the day with nothing but coffee.
4. I don't exercise, and I hate using "lack of time" as my excuse, but it's the truth.
5. Unloading the silverware from the dishwasher serves as a soothing stress reliever for me.
6. I am completely freaked out by the fact that my kids will never "outgrow" their need for clean clothes & as they grow, so will the laundry piles.
7. I'd always wanted my nose pierced, so after becoming a mother of four in my mid-30's, I finally did it! I hated it removed it 9 months later.
8. Before embarking my solo creative biz, I worked in energy supply management with a great team of corporate utility folks.
9. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and that I am doing exactly what I was meant to be doing.
10. I lost my mom to breast cancer 5 months after my first son was born, so I am motherless, daughterless and sisterless, and I thank God for all of the wonderful women in my life that fill that void.
