I was born in Sarasota, Florida, but raised mostly in Northern California. I was born an artist, and knew I wanted to study art in college at a young age.

I come from a down-to-earth, hard working, ambitious, creative family. I have been an artist since I was a little girl. You name it I’ve tried it — a painter, a potter, a glass blower, a sculptor, a carpenter, a printmaker, a photographer.

I discovered graphic design in college and it was love at first sight. I was drawn to it because it allowed me to take my extensive fine art background and apply it in ways that challenged my intellect, creativity, and ingenuity.

For the same reasons, I love social media, the Internet, and the infinite possibilities of online marketing. I was one of the first people to sign up for an account with Ebay, Amazon, MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and all networks like these because I knew these ingenious sites had the potential to change the Internet forever—and they did. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Google+ have made the largest community of instant updates, in-the-know, just for giggles, and you’re invited, while Ebay and Amazon are now the world’s biggest yard sale, swap meet, and outlet stores all in one.

I love the instant of the Internet, I live and breathe it everyday, but I also see and cherish the value of the hard copy, the handmade, and the in person. For this I am a unique and rare find.

 

I’ve recently ventured into self-employment, and am the co-founder of Wahine Media, a social media management company that embraces how women network and socialize.
