Favorite Print Process: Thermography
Secretly I’m really good at… "throwing games! Bag toss, ladder golf, skee ball. I won’t be winning any championships but I can hold my own."

Favorite Print Process: Enhanced Foil because I love anything that’s new and exciting!
Secretly I’m really good at… "Family tree genealogy research! I’ve been hunting down elusive ancestors for decades now, including tracing one of my lineages back to William the Conqueror, my 31st Great Grandfather! Maybe it's more of an obsession than a hobby."

Secretly I’m really good at… "pointless random facts. I kill it at bar trivia!"

Favorite Print Process: Do I have to choose one?! It’s a tie between letterpress and foil. I like the sophistication of letterpress. It can be minimalistic but also looks amazing with patterns, florals and colors. I like the sparkle of foil, which may come from my love of jewelry!
Secretly I’m really good at… "no secret talents here, I am an open book. However, I am nerdy in that I love numbers and analyzing data. You can be creative and love numbers too, right?"
