About Me

I have always had a love for art and design. At the age of ten I began sewing clothes for my dolls, and continued that passion when I persued my degree in fashion design. After working in the retail management and merchandising field for several years I returned to my true passion of art and design. I opened my online children's boutique on Etsy in 2012 and have been creating clothes and accessories for several years now. Wanting to keep with changing technology and design, I have returned to school at SNHU to pursue a degree in graphic design with a concentration in web design. Please look through my portfolio site for examples of my work.
