I am a graphic designer in fact. Got out of college in 2001 and started there. However, I only started designing for digital scrapbooking in 2009.
What inspires you?
Pretty much everything, from books to music, photography, nature and some artists like Basquiat and Andy Warhol.
Tell us a little bit about your design process…
First I look for a theme then I browse the colours on Pinterest. After that I begin designing the papers, then I make cards and word art. Elements are always the last thing I make.
What is something we may not know about you?
I hate butter. Actually I can’t even stand the smell of it. So if you ever invite me to dinner please you should never have a dish that takes butter as an ingredient.
