I was born and raised in the west suburbs of Chicago. As far back as I can remember, I loved to make things. My passion for coloring, drawing, and baking my own creations in my easy bake oven soon evolved (and thankfully matured) into what is now my passion for art and design. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a Bachelor of Design and a Bachelor of Fine Arts. I have worked as an in-house graphic designer at both a large corporation and a smaller non-profit organization. I currently live and work in Ann Arbor, Michigan along with my husband, daughter, and our dog Rue. When I am not staring at my computer screen, I am either drinking coffee, running, cooking, or making up songs to entertain my daughter.
