How P.ink Began
I was born in San Diego, California to a Mother who was not only a CPO Radioman in the Navy but who also crafted with me or for me my whole life. We moved around a lot from the military life so I concentrated on my love of arts to keep myself busy. When it was time to decide on a career path, it was obvious a Bachelor in Arts was in my future. I obtained both a Certificate of Completion from the Sheffield School of Interior Design in New York (online program) and a Bachelor of Arts with a focus in Interiors at the University of Akron in Ohio. I found a career in residential architecture, designing and drafting custom homes, but before that I took a job with a small award winning landscaping company as their Drafter and Marketing Designer, and I realized then how much I loved doing Graphic Design.
I trolled Etsy, as I'm sure many of you do, mesmerized by all the heart and soul people put into their crafts. I realized at one point that I missed being artsy and doing graphic design and took a leap of faith by opening Pretty With Ink Invites in 2011. It took off and before I knew it I was selling world-wide at a consistent pace.
It's great to create things that people love, I just can't get enough. I've worked with some great customers and it's you guys that keep it going! Maybe someday I can hire a little help! LOL
Ask me anything anytime and LET'S CREATE TOGETHER!
