I enjoy brainstorming new ideas and making those ideas come to life. Taking part in meaningful projects and using my creativity to bring joy to others is what I love most about being a designer. After nearly 20 years as a graphic designer in the AEC industry, I took the opportunity to start my own business when the right time came along. I come from a family of small business owners. My father was the owner and operator of a Christmas tree farm, Emerson Trees and Wreaths, founded in the 1980s. In the early 1930s, my maternal great-grandfather founded a printing press, The Valley Press, which was later run by my great-uncle. Following in their footsteps, my business is named after the area where I live. When I’m not designing, you can find me out in the garden, refinishing old furniture, making a do-to list, and enjoying life with my husband, our two amazing sons, and our pug, Pearl.
