Happy International Women’s Day! Today I stand with all women and pledge my belief in equal rights and justice for us all. Some don’t realize the true value women have in this society and its about time they do. We are, if anything, leaders and warriors. We must fight the good fight because no one else will do it for us. I hope to see many taking this day to prove how important we really are, as well as support the many who face discrimination and social oppression in this country and beyond. Unity is what drives us and equality is what we all deserve.

Since I am self employed I will be home with my son doing my most important job. And I am proud to be my own boss and work predominately with female clients to help beautify and strengthen their brand and business. I will show my support for the cause by sharing my message with my followers and engage in other conversations to spread it even more. We must stay united and be strong to help make this world a better place to live in. Today and all days!

There is no better time than now to support the cause that fuels #adaywithoutwomen. My Love Always Wins print is only $10 and you get a black and white and watercolor version. You can find it in the shop at bit.ly/lovewinsprint for immediate download.

I am happy to do my part and donate all sales of this item to Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union. I truly believe love conquers all and with us all uniting we can really change the world.

Hello 2017!

2017, good bye 2016, happy new year, hello 2017, looking back, reflect, year recap

new-years

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope that 2017 brings lots of success, happiness, and good times with the people we love. This year was pretty momentous for me. Not only did my husband and I celebrate 8 years of being together, we also met the little boy of our dreams. Being a mother to our son has been rewarding in so many ways. He has shown me what true love really is. I’m not sure if he will ever know how much I adore him, but I promise to show him every single day. Having a family of my own means the world to me and I feel very grateful to call them mine.

Professionally, 2016 has been pretty good as well. This has been another great year working with my regular clients and I have enjoyed all the new projects I can now add to my portfolio. I am thankful, yet again, to Minted for giving me lots of opportunities to grow as an artist. Not only am I proud to be a Minted designer, but they continue to challenge and inspire me in so many ways. I was also happy to redesign my website and update my branding, which is something I have been wanting to do for awhile. Overall, I just feel very lucky to do what I love to do. And being able to work from home and be with our son is awesome.

I look forward to so much more in 2017 and can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thank you for joining me on this journey! It’s nice to be connected to so many creative and talented people, as well as others who find interest in what I do. I hope you enjoyed the last day of the year and best wishes for all things great in 2017!
