Let me take a minute to tell you about myself…If you really don’t care, you can flip to a new page.

I was born and raised in a small town; my family literally bought a corn field, dug a hole and built a house. My family is great. They have fully supported me in everything I have wanted to do, even if they didn’t understand it.  I am meant to do more than what a small town can provide.

I went on to high school at EHOVE Career Center to study Interactive Media Technology and graduated as the Vocational Scholar and in the top percentage of my class.  I knew I always had a love and passion for all things design. Sometimes, it wasn’t all so clear which area I wanted to focus on the most…but then I asked myself – why choose? Why limit myself to one or the other. I worked four jobs throughout full-time college status to pay for tuition and other expenses and graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science in Visual Communication Technology. While I didn’t go to a fancy (expensive) “Art & Design” school, but I also don’t have the next 50 years of my life and my whole education to owe to a bank at 3% interest. I have always worked in and around the design fields and have a true deep love and passion for it. I try to involve my life with as many positive and educating endeavors as possible.

In my spare time I enjoy staying active. I am a collaborative editor on a blog called Swivvel. It’s a great techie, nerdy, girl, boy, fun blog. I am an active humanitarian and really enjoy volunteering time and talent to better the world. Of course my life revolves around all types of design; graphic, web, new media, photography, textile, fashion, and interior design tops my favorites. However, it is amazing when you can take many different media and make them come together and work in unison. I am an avid viral marketer for products and people that (I see) have been blessed with the special gift to CREATE. I love sharing great ideas, products, designs, websites, and other items with people to raise awareness.

Since I am a small town girl, I can’t help but to be a bit “hickish” at times. I have a love for all things motor sports, especially sprint cars on dirt. I am a homemaker too, trying to involve as many as my talents as possible. I love the art of food, cooking, gardening, decorating and home refurnishing.

I hold a special place in my heart for music, performance arts, dance. I am a vocalist and songwriter who is always open to collaboration with other artists. I have studied the art of acting and love playing characters in a live stage setting or on a closed set.

I am a lover of all things pink and CUPCAKE. I tend to have a bit of retro, indie flare with a splash of classic modern.  I have a special place in my heart for Independent Designs/Designers and use their creativity to inspire my own. I also have a fond therapeutic love for horseback riding, traveling, ice skating, changing my hair color, The Sims, and gourmet cooking. If you are lucky, I might just make a batch of my amazing cupcakes to share!

That’s enough about me; I’d like to hear about you!
