My story…
Ever since I could hold a crayon—one of those chunky, jumbo ones—I’ve been hooked on art and design. I followed that passion throughout my life, eventually trading the pencil and brush for a mouse and stylus.
I’ve been designing for over 20 years, and yet I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of what I can do. I still connect back to my roots with drawing and painting, and I make an effort to travel somewhere new every year.
