FEATURES / PRESS / PR

Welcome to my little spot in the blogging community, or as my teenager once told me “my little dirt road trying to be a highway”.

I have a background in marketing and promotions in the magazine industry and was raised by a woodcarving father, artist grandmother, and creative mother who taught me to cook, cross-stitch and knit from a young age.
