I've been creating graphics since 1996 without realizing it had a name. When I ran a business center I created flyers and greeting cards for clients all of the time because it was fun. When I ran our communications company with my husband I began creating full-color advertisements for trade publications and magazines around the world, little did I know but that world-wide marketing campaign was the beginning of my Graphic Design career. After we shut down the communications company I went to work as a graphic designer for a printing company where I learned new programs, new techniques and all about the printing business which has helped me with this business completely. From there I began doing odd jobs for friends and clients.

My first job as a self-titled graphic designer was for a local company in my area who needed a website to sell their product, a logo, corporate stationary, brochures, newspaper advertisements, postcards for mail outs and signage. From there my name grew, I redesigned a veterinarians website, created flyers for local businesses, had a client purchase the Flash program for me to learn so I could add animation to the website they wanted me to redesign. I have been blessed with wonderful clients!

The next company to hire me was for a vehicle display system. They too needed a website, corporate profile, flyers, advertisements and something very specific: a 30 foot mesh banner graphics package for each of their systems designed specifically for the clients and companies they sold to. My work was on display at SEMA in Las Vegas with the actual Bigfoot Monster Truck displayed on it!

Since then I have been on the go constantly. Websites for clients, greeting cards for friends, pretty much a new project every day and it has been a blast. I thank everyone of my clients who got me here and the ones who are keeping me here, for without them, none of this is possible.
