My creative career began in 1996 when, after completing design school, I was incredibly fortunate to land jobs that offered steady advancement — from graphic designer to marketing communications manager, creating projects for businesses around the world.
And then, designing my own engagement and wedding albums, I found my bliss…
I told my husband, “Fifty years from now, I want us to have a shelf lined with these albums, spanning all sorts of special occasions in our life — our engagement, our wedding, the birth of our children and our grandchildren, our special vacations. Our life chapters.”
The idea stuck, and when friends and family continued suggesting I start my own design business, LifeChapter was the path that energized my launch.
My business philosophy is simple…
I vow to meet your album or book design & production needs at whatever step you need help most… even as your needs change throughout the year. Design back-up during busy seasons? Absolutely. Album project management year-round? No problem.
I also appreciate the individuals seeking professional design support for their personal or organizational book projects. I’d love to help you create a custom book or album of your precious images, stories, poems, or any other type of content you cherish.
My design approach is straightforward as well…
This is a guaranteed 100% template-free zone! Each of my layouts is custom-crafted on core design principles and sensitivity to your vision and distinguishing style, producing a distinctive and compelling dialogue between imagery and story line.
