 Objective:

To secure Design Team positions on a variety of paper crafting supply manufacturer’s teams to round out my current creative team participation and offer a balanced selection of projects to publishers.

 Creative Strengths:

My creative style is focused on simple, easy to recreate paper projects of all types. While I do incorporate a variety of techniques in my projects, the focus is always on making them fast and easy. My style is best described as simple, layered and linear. The majority of my projects are layouts and general paper crafts. I can also complete a variety of altered items, mixed media items, cards and mini albums, as required on tight time-frames.

I actively teach classes at multiple local Scrapbook Stores and have also taught Make and Take projects at a large retail scrapbooking event. I thoroughly enjoy the teaching process and the interaction with fellow paper crafters from across the country.
