After working in the grocery field for 7 years and working up to customer service manager, I started my education in graphic design in 1999. I earned a computer science degree in 2001 specializing in web and multimedia. I was hired in 2001 by a company that recorded conferences all over the world; The Sound of Knowledge owned and operated by Michael Doane, a leader and educator in the industry. I was in charge of the design and development of interactive CD-ROMs and DVDs containing conference materials, audio and video. With the approval of Michael, I eventually created a graphics department in the company, heading up to 6 employees where I was in charge of all the design and creation of media, flyers, order forms, disc packaging, and web projects for the company.

In 2003, I decided I would like to start my own company. My former graphic design school, Platt College of San Diego, CA, gave me a lead to contact All Star Media. They recorded conferences and was looking for my skills to deliver content to attendees. From there, I received calls from similar companies and before long, I was producing content on disc and web for a number of recording companies. I then started providing in-house media printing and duplication for these clients.

Today, most of my projects are web based for a variety small businesses in industries including insurance, real estate, construction, lending, beauty, medical, and more. Some conference recording client industries include psychiatry and the law, various medical fields, healthcare, healthcare marketing, training (workplace, nursing, etc.), and wine making/enology/viticulture. In addition to taking care of my client’s web needs, I provide graphic design for any printed materials they may need such as business cards, flyers, trade show banners, signage, table throws, order forms, product packaging, brochures, and what ever else.

In 2021, I was granted a CA real estate salesperson license. I am passionate about real estate and helping people in any way that I can. Finding solutions in real estate, web, or health choices makes me happy in my own life. As a professional in real estate, I know each transaction comes with its own set of obstacles. Navigating my clients through these while obtaining the best possible outcome and providing a pleasant experience is my number one goal.

I am an advocate for ditching single use plastic especially when it comes to laundry detergent, any watered down product in plastic jugs, and shampoo/conditioner bottles. I enjoy finding ways to reduce and reuse by making my own soap, body/face moisturizer bars, lip balms and using shampoo and conditioner bars instead of liquid. As I am walking on the beach where I live, I am constantly reminded of the importance of our choices in products when I see single use flossers, tooth brushes, water bottles, and other unmentionables washing up onto the sand  🙁  Let’s not forget the bodies of plastic islands floating in the oceans and sea life suffocating and getting strangled. 

Finally, I am an advocate for animal rights. I do not believe in caging, chaining, or using wild animals for human profit and entertainment. I am against circuses, any zoo that puts animals in small enclosures and does not have the sole purpose of capturing for rescue such as whales being trapped in tanks. This causes stress, depression and endless health issues leading to a shorter than normal life. I feel one of the worst possible thing humans can do to an animal is make them part of a traveling zoo/circus. Let’s not forget they are wild and meant to be free. The animals are depressed when in their small enclosures then scared and stressed to the point of an early death during travel and “shows”. The animals are trained by fear, pain and torture. I ask my friends to please not support any of these acts of cruelty. Please take your children to see animals that have been rescued and are to be freed again when ever possible. Please to not pay for selfie moments with cute cubs and be aware of what goes on behind the scenes.
