So...how did all this happen?

Up until 2026, I would have told you I couldn’t draw and didn’t draw.

I've always been creative. I'm a designer and marketing person by trade, so I've spent years creating digital things, developing ideas and making things look good.

But drawing? NEVER.

Then life handed me a lot of waiting and a little stress.

My husband received a kidney transplant and my sister was going through cancer treatments at Mayo, and during that time I found myself spending a lot of hours sitting in clinics and hospitals.

I had started coloring as a creative outlet, but somewhere among the hospital rooms, waiting rooms and long stretches of time, I picked up a pen and started doodling.

Nothing fancy.

A few lines. Some shapes. A pattern here and there.

And apparently...I LOVE TO DOODLE.

What started as something to pass the time became something I genuinely loved.

I started experimenting.

Drawing patterns. Filling pages. Trying flowers. Decorating cards. Turning ordinary pieces of paper into things I wanted to keep.

And then I started wondering...

What else could I doodle on?

Which, as it turns out, is a dangerous question.

Because now I spend far too much time with a pen in hand, instead of a mouse.

And here we are.
