About Me



Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™

I'm a successful graphic designer and single mother living in northeast Texas. I also have a four-year old daughter who is the absolute center of my universe. Everything I do in my professional life is to benefit her.

I consider myself one of the lucky people who can honestly say that they love their overall career and the direction it is going, which is up. I have been working in the digital arts field since 2000. My computer programs of choice include Adobe Creative Suite, 3D Studio Max, Blender 3D, and Apophysis among others. I specialize in digital painting, 2D & 3D animation, photo manipulation, and photo restorations.

Education-wise, I am an alumni of Waller High School (1998), the Art Institute of Houston (2000), and the Art Institute of Colorado (2003).
