About Me.
After 16 years in a public library, sparking a love for learning and stories in young people as a Children's Librarian, I followed my passion for visual design and started my own website design business. My unique background as both a public educator and visual designer, as well as my insatiable love of learning, make me a perfect instructional designer and developer in the field of Learning and Development. ​
