A Brief History:

I grew up on a 100-acre farm near Tunkhannock, PA, raising every animal and plant imaginable. I loved the open sky and fresh veggies but had to answer the irrepressible seduction of art. After high school, I dashed off to pursue my city-girl dreams at Marywood University in Scranton, immersing myself in their BFA program for commercial design and illustration.

While earning my degree, I was privileged to work alongside my accomplished professors in the art galleries housed on campus, hanging and curating the most amazing contemporary artists of the time.

Before pursuing my calling in design, I spent 16 years perfecting my project- and data-management skills. You could say my brain is ambidextrous—both right and left sides are full speed ahead! Combine that with killer design skills and you get the most creative and unique solutions for your projects.

Ultimately, I moved to New Jersey (down the shore), where I live with my husband, Scott, and our wacky-but-lovable Bichon dog, Ripley. I am actively involved in our community and a proud member of the Toms River Elks.
