Over the course of my career, I’ve been employed with national consumer products companies- Lisa Frank, Savvi and Colorbök , and have been successfully freelancing for since 2010. My job descriptions have included: Artist, product designer, illustrator, art director, concept director, writer, character developer, marketeer, stylist.... Basically, I have been involved in everything creative. Children’s products are my specialty, and, always a kid at heart, this has been a natural outlet. Creative pursuits have consumed my life. When I’m not ‘working’ you will probably find me : Thrifting, posting on Pintrest, painting, crocheting, making jewelry, junk-o-pauging, writing poetry, sewing, taking photographs, blogging, spending time on the beach in Mexico and enjoying life with my husband and variety of beloved pets. No kids, but I have a cherished extended family filled with brothers, cousins and all of their kids! I grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and graduated from Colorado State University with a BFA in fine art. I migrated to the southern Arizona desert 1986. I miss my mountains, but over the years the desert has grown on me, and is now a source of endless inspiration!
