And here's a little Q and A with the artist:

1. When did you first become interested in graphic design?

Hmmm.... probably in high school. I took a computer graphics class as a senior, and shortly after getting involved with that class I began meshing my art with computer graphics. I have ALWAYS been obsessed with typography. As a little girl I would write my name over and over until I was happy with the way it looked. I actually conditioned myself to write in the handwriting I use today... and I get compliments on it all the time! I am not OCD at all, I promise.

2. How would you describe your graphic style?

Clean? There are designers who use a LOT of images, drawings, colors, etc... but I typically keep a project to 2 or 3 colors and 1 to 2 fonts. I love white space too.

3. How long have you been in business?

I started designing stationary right out of college while I was looking for a job. My business didn't really pick up until about a year and a half ago, though, and I've been doing it non-stop since then!

4. What are some challenges that face a graphic designer?

There's always the challenge of making your customers happy. Design is very sudjective, so what I might imagine might be very different from what my customer is expecting. I typically try to nip this in the bud from the beginning by asking very specific questions of my customers.

5. What is your ideal end/future in the business?

I'd like to own a small boutique - nothing extravagent, just something small and quaint that I can decorate the way I like, run the way I like and a place that the locals are so satisfied with that they keep coming back!

Thank-you Amanda- you rock!!!
