A bit about me.

I've been in the graphic design industry for over nine years and make a living doing what I love - creating art. My favourite part of the design process is getting that "YES! That's it! That's the one - " moment after showing someone a finished design. 

My style tends to be bold and controlled with a curvaceous flair. I've designed everything from logos to funeral brochures, websites to book covers and everything between and otherwise. 

Of all my projects, my favourite ones to work on tend to be the 3d paper box designs. I also really like clean and daring logos, and creating illustrations for Children's colouring books.

I grew up with a farmer's lifestyle, living on a green hill and fetching escaped chickens during midday frolics. I later became a city-dweller as a strong graphic designer owning several businesses. 

But I owe a lot of the credit to my dad; basically, when computers first came out - my dad was at the front of the line. As a result, us kids grew up as some of the first programmers and graphic designers, with nothing else to do on a farm in the winter except sharpen our skills - we've been doing it since it was a thing to do. 

But more than that, what got me from point A to point B is I've had incredible influences in my life. 
1. Strong family members who taught me to challenge the status quo
2. Passionately political friends who taught me to care about the world around me
3. Compelling teachers who showed me there is more to life than just working for money

Because of this, it is my focus to help others do what they love and better the world around them. I do what I love, and choose to participate in projects which inspire optimism. 

Just felt like sharing. :)
