A few words about me

I grew up and went to school in North Dakota. I moved to Las Vegas in 1989 - big difference from North Dakota! After a few years of fundraising and marketing I knew my heart was really in graphic design. So in 2001 I started freelancing. I have worked with some really great people and have created some really fantastic graphics, artwork & photography, every project is a new adventure.

A few fun facts about me: I am a total animal person & absolutely LOVE Rottweilers - my husband and I rescue rotties - which sometimes is not for the faint of heart but I wouldn't trade any of them! Our current spoiled rotten rott - "Pazzy" is pictured at left.

I am passionate about the color purple, if there is something in any shade of purple I will find it!

I like to see if I can guess the fonts used in advertisements, signs or billboards I see - and with over 2500 fonts on my computer it is not always easy to remember!

I am a MAC addict so anything that Apple comes out with usually follows me home.
