I’ve been doing graphic design for 38 years, web design for going on 6 years, and I have a multifaceted background as a fine artist and trained bookkeeper. I’m trying to break into the illustration field, and I do all the bookkeeping for my biz.

I belong to the American Advertising Federation (Inland Empire Chapter), American Marketing Association, National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and the Redlands Chamber of Commerce.

I have a 25yo daughter, Nicole, who is brilliant and beautiful, and who has given me two brilliant, beautiful, and pretty darned well-behaved grandchildren – Isaiah, 3, and Malia, 1.

I also have a 22yo son, Mike, who never ceases to amaze me with how smart and funny he is (as he would say, “We ARE talking about me, you know.” Yes, he’s humble, too). Seriously, he has high-functioning autism and severe Tourette syndrome, but he has a pretty normal life, and has been working at my favorite store, Marshall’s, for 3 years. He’s about to get his driver’s license.
