My life story?

Now, I know you don't want to be bored by my life story so I'm not going there. I'm just a graphic and web designer, sometimes photographer, aspiring artist, dog walker and mum to baby Zoe. I have the luxury of working from home so I work all hours or sometimes not many hours, (thats the luxury part). I live in a small town called Wanaka in the South Island of New Zealand surrounded by the lake and mountains so thats why you might see a lot of snow industry work in my portfolio, snowboarding is what brought my husband and I to Wanaka. After working for about 4 and a half years as a Senior Designer in Queenstown for Fluid Visual Communications I set up my freelance company in November 09 and now I'm really enjoying being my own boss and employee. Sometimes I can be a mean boss and end up being a bit hard on myself though as I strive to make everything perfect.  For the most part I like working for myself.  ok, sorry this did turn into a life story after all ....

The silohuette of me opposite is not a badly created photoshop image, i promise.  It's got a story to it instead.... When I was travelling in the South of France in my early twenties I was talked into having my profile created by a street artist. He literally cut me out of a black piece of paper with scissors in a matter of minutes while I stood infront of him. The spontaneity of it still inspires me.
