Objective:
I seek work with manufacturers and magazines who value creativity, ingenuity, flexibility, loyalty, and strict attention to details and deadlines.
I enjoy writing and am available to write tips and technique articles featuring various product lines. I also can help write and edit newsletters or blogs.
I am free to travel to teach, do demonstrations, and conduct make & takes.
Styles & Techniques:
My style is clean, linear, and classic. Detailed touches using rubber stamps, layered papers, diecuts, or punch art add visual interest to my projects.
I love to experiment with new techniques, media, and products to create cards, journals, altered art, and scrapbook layouts.
