I was born in Tucson, AZ and raised in Annapolis, MD. I pursued Design studies in Philadelphia, PA. After receiving my Associate Degree from The Art Institute of Philadelphia I moved on to the women's art college, Moore College of Art and Design, also in Philadelphia. In 2005 I received my BFA and set out with my fiance for Arizona where I wasn't very happy. We lived there for 2 years and decided to move to Orlando, FL just last year so he could head up graphic design at the new IKEA. We have recently registered our business, Joined at the Stitch, so that we can pursue greater success with our crafts.
