Freelance Web & Graphic Design with a sprinkle of sunshine — Atlanta, GA
About
I'm a 27-year-old web & graphic designer and freelance writer living in Atlanta, GA with my wonderful husband & our little cat. I've been freelancing since I graduated from James Madison University in 2008, and I enjoy studying social networking and its marketing potential. I love illustration, the arts, crafts, and photography. I also love creative writing, and I'm working on a fantasy novel I hope to publish in the near future. I'm also a huge nerd ^_^
