Story

time warp!

I grew up in an office

I come from a long line of early-adopters and DIYers. For me, the primary benefit of having my parents convert our dining room into the physical headquarters of the international road running information center was having 24-7 access to computers, software, and a commercial xerox machine. I self-taught myself how to use CorelDraw at the age of eight, enrolled in UCSB Extension classes in Adobe illustrator, premiere and photoshop at 13 and have been digitally creating and designing ever since.

Utilized my expert knowledge of various production processes throughout the interactive, entertainment, and advertising industries. Combining that with my passion for marketing and presentation, I created a new business based on a one-woman agency concept. By creating a scaled-down variation of what happens at the huge ad agencies. I specialized in projects for independent creative professionals and small businesses.
