All my life I have always had a passion for art and design. I was always drawing, coloring, or creating something. After highschool I continued that passion into college and recieved a bachelors degree in art and design. As of now I have had art published in magazines, featured in stores for purchase, in art shows, created logos for businesses, and now designing art for print on demand products or digital downloads. I also design journal covers for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Not to mention countless craft projects. This list has my favorite designed products, art I love that inspire me, and supplies to start designing on your own. It is never too late to follow your passion, just take that first step and go for it.

What I’m listening to while I clean, work out & fold laundry 🎧 My tried-and-true YouTube + blog favorites. Give me a good video essay, cultural commentary, Christian conversation, or finance deep dive and I am SET. I listen while I’m working out, cleaning the kitchen, folding laundry, driving, getting ready…basically anytime my hands are busy, my ears are occupied. And that’s probably why my friends are always asking, “How do you have time to listen to so much?!” I barely watch television. 😂 I’d much rather have something interesting playing in the background that makes me think, teaches me something, challenges me, or gives me something to chew on. I’m also a longtime blog reader, so these are a few of my tried-and-true favorites that I’m always coming back to.
