In the summer of 2008 I was laid off from a full time design job as a stationery artist. I loved what I did and I didn't want to stop doing it. So I decided to open my own shop with designs created by me. I love incorporating my own illustrations into many of my designs.

I have a fine art degree from St. Cloud State University where I learned the importance of design principals, color theory, and Art history.

I am a wife and mother to my beautiful daughter who has taught me to see the world differently. Being an independent artist has allowed me to spend quality time with my family and still do what I love!
