I am an Artist, Graphic Designer and Photographer….in no particular order. As a Graduate with an Illustration and Commercial Design degree in Applied Sciences, I am skilled using many mediums.

Design, Art and Photography is my passion… I absolutely love what I do.

I knew very early on that art was going to be my main focus in life. Always drawing, coming up with wild ideas, creating things by hand, and  a l w a y s  letting my imagination take me places. My many hobbies let me continuously be creative in their own way. I love crafting, home projects, oh and give me an IKEA furniture item to build and I’m happy to put it together! It’s like a furniture puzzle and I love puzzles!   

I have always had a love for Volkswagens (hence KREATIV which is creative in German) and cars in general. My husband and I attend many car shows throughout the year and enjoy cruising around in one of his many vintage cars. It’s actually how we met! I used to host a car cruise called Haunt Jaunt (2006-2008). It was every October and the idea was that the attendees would either dress in costume themselves or their cars(tumes) or both to win prizes! Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday and it was a super fun homage to my passions: cars, Halloween and photography! 

Another HUGE part of my life is my dog! I am a mother to the cutest Boston Terrier, Coraline. I am even one of those people that has created an instagram just for my dogter! Follow her! @coraline_theboston 🙂  

My Journey into photography…
Photography has always been in my life and in my family. In 2006, I started realizing that it was something I wanted to pursue further as a career and not just as a hobby. So my grandmother gave me my grandfathers old SLR’s and my Dad bought me my first DSLR for Christmas that year. I currently shoot with a Sony A7RIV, Sony A7III and Canon 5D mark III. It is something that I love to do besides designing, I feel I can get very creative with it and it’s just amazing to me that I can capture these moments to keep forever.
