I'm one of those lucky people who always knew what they wanted to be when they grew up (expect for those few minutes when I considered genetic engineering…) and it happened to be something I loved. I've been a graphic designer for almost 20 years and enjoy it as much today as the day I started. After ten years of working for other people (five of those working twice as hard building my own design business on the side), I finally took the plunge in 2008 and quit my day job.

I was thrilled to learn about Etsy from a friend right around the same time and thought it was the perfect venue for my other passion, creating jewelry, and a great opportunity to have an extra source of income if design business was slow. Soon after opening, I was blessed to have great success and build an awesome client base and have been focused on growing both of my businesses ever since.

The last five years have brought many unexpected changes, and while life is never easy, it's always awesome and I wake up happy everyday. Etsy has allowed me to roll with all the punches life has thrown at me and still continue to work and provide for my family through it all.

I am constantly thankful for the people who support me through my shop and for the opportunity to do what I love everyday!
