the back story

Like most creatives, I’m likely to buy something that’s in a pretty box, even if I don’t need it. Likewise, I’ll refused to work with a business with a poorly-designed website, or (gasp) no website at all.

In my spare time, I’m a volunteer advocate at the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center & an avid baker. In addition, I have an unhealthy obsession with Italian food, Apple products, cupcakes, musical theatre & Glee.
