This is me

I'm an artist, a designer, a trend researcher and a mom.  I'll admit I am not great at many things.  I don't sing well (though I will still belt it out), I dance like Elaine (yet I will still dance anytime anywhere) and please don't make me cook (there isn't a caveat here, just please don't make me).  But I was gifted with a never ending creative stream running through my brain and an eye for design.  I love my job and am always looking for opportunities to expand my background and gain product knowledge.
