I started my artistic journey as a child building award winning “floats” for the local summer childrens’ parades in Seattle. In high school I began hand building clay “Janimals” which were a hit, and started me o my entrepreneurial journey. I sewed everything from clothing to handbags. I made elaborate costumes that won prizes.  I just kept on creating.

Then n the late 80’s, I was drawn to the art of stencils. I took an immediate interest creating complex multiple-overlay stencil designs and began a 25 year journey. I designed, manufactured and distributed my extensive line of laser cut stencils and employed 25 people to get the stencils out the door. Appearances on HGTV, Discovery, and DIY propelled my career and solidified my business as a globally recognizable top-selling stencil company.
