Resume

I'm a freelance designer currently able to take on some additional design responsibilities. Please email me using the link to the left under my photo....let's talk!

I am currently in a Lead Fiskateer role as I co-manage an online community called The Fiskateers. I also find great joy in contributing design work to Fiskars for their online content in my position with them as a Crafting Expert--allowing me to create projects and write artictles that feature Fiskars tools.

I currently design project samples for Karen Foster Design for display in their booth at the Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) trade shows on a bi-annual basis. In addition, I create project samples and video tutorials for Little Yellow Bicycle on a monthly basis.

I have an e-book series available known as the Beautifully Handmade series. I'm a former member of The Story Matters design team, SRM Stickers design team, Daisy D's Paper Co. design team and the editorial team at Scrapsupply where I served for 3 years as a design team member where my main duty was to create online tutorials for the monthly newsletter.

I have 3 books in print; Circle Journals, Pens & Needles, and Go Figure: Scrapbooking with Numbers (the last two were co-authored with Cindy Smith), all published by Pinecone Press.

I love to make things beautifully handmade---making something from nothing. My style is reflective of that, without looking crafty or homespun. My style is also fresh and comfortable, polished and not forced, and technique driven with a strong focus on layering products and making something from nothing. It often exhibits using products in unexpected ways, always with a touch of stitching--most often hand-stitched details. It also follows design principles without looking graphic or linear.
