Life's Little Surprises
If you'd told me 15 years ago that I would become a graphic designer, I would have laughed at you! It's amazing how things can change! By day, I am a speech-language pathologist that works with children. I enjoy my job and find it very rewarding, but graphic design has become something that I also LOVE. It's my stress relief, creative escape, and a great outlet for my ever-busy mind. Creating designs that people enjoy is important to me and honestly brings me joy.
My entrance into graphic design is a result of my favorite job of all -- being a mom. When my oldest son was little, I always made his birthday invitations and things for his parties. The more I worked on his parties, the more I fell in love with the process of graphic design. When I look back at my first designs, I cringe....but I also am thankful for those less than stellar designs. They were stepping stones to help me improve and learn. I am still trying to improve and learn. It's a never-ending process!
One of my favorite verses is Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Parchment Path gets its name from this Bible verse!
