Mandy is a graphic designer, illustrator, and novice surface designer who has lived and worked across the U.S. Growing up in Saginaw, Michigan, she discovered her love for art. She later traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design. From there, she flew to Boston, Massachusetts, to work at an advertising and design agency. Her journey continued across the country to San Diego, California, where she connected with a design studio on the West Coast. Seeking new adventures, she moved to Fort Collins, Colorado, nestled in the Rocky Mountains, where she embraced homeschooling her toddler and welcomed her second child—all with two cats by her side. Chasing the sun, Mandy relocated to the southwest in Tempe, Arizona, where she experienced the hot 115 degree heat of the Sonoran Desert. Finally, coming full circle, she and her two boys moved back to her home town in Michigan to be near family, where they now enjoy snowy winters, apricity, and snowball fights. Mandy loves designing, creating art, cooking, music, dancing, and going on nature hikes. Most of all, she treasures spending time with her two adventurous boys.
