Objective

I am currently seeking design team/assignment opportunities for a manufacturer or magazine.  I love the challenge of creatively showcasing wonderful scrapbooking products (digital, paper, or hybrid), and inspiring other scrappers.  I work well with deadlines, am very self-motivated, and enjoy working on a team.

Styles and Techniques

My style is clean and simple, focusing on the photos and memories. I lean toward a graphic look, but I also like trying new things. I create paper and digital pages, and I enjoy hybrid scrapbooking as well.
