Objective:

To obtain work as a design team member or freelance designer for scrapbook manufacturers, magazines and other publications. I work well with deadlines and time constraints to produce quality work. 

I love both photography and scrapbooking. I would described my style as layered with focus on strong photos.  I like to use patterned papers, colors & embellishments to create projects with lots of contrast & strong design, while keeping the focus on my photos. 

If you are interested in my work, or if I can help you with an upcoming project or highlighting your products, please feel free to contact me.
