The first half of my childhood I lived in Wapakoneta, OH (Home of Neil Armstrong!) and the second half I lived in Minster, OH where I graduated in 2000. Right after high school, I moved to Kettering/Dayton, OH to attend the School of Advertising Art where I received my Associates Degree in Graphic Design and Illustration in 2002. It was there I met my best friend and roommate, Lindsey. After finishing college, I married my high school sweetheart, Tim, and I landed my first career job at the Berry Company creating ads for the Yellow Pages (Do phone books even exist anymore??). We had our first child in 2004 and decided to move back closer to home in 2006. After our second child was born, I quit my print shop job to be a stay-at-home mom. In 2009, Lindsey, at the time, was working with Buck and Landon Wade, and she told me they had an opening for a Graphic Designer and I could work from home! I’ve been working with them ever since! I loved that I could be there to raise our kids and have my career too. We have 3 children now, no pets, and reside in Piqua, OH.
