a little bit of LULA history
I was born in Great Falls, Montana and then traveled the world as an Air Force brat before landing in Corpus Christi, Texas for those
oh-so-uncomfortable teen years.
A few years after graduating high school, I uprooted and headed north. Some bouncing around ensued but then I landed in good ol’
Philly and decided to stay.
I’ve always dabbled in the arts since childhood and after years of soul searching decided that Graphic Design was my calling. After getting a BFA in Graphic Design in 2006, I left the world
of retail management and jumped-in full force creating theLULAdesigns.
My life is full of hearty laughs from my son,
gut busting good times with my husband, a wonderful circle of friends and family, and an intimate relationship with design in my everyday life. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

- My son and husband are not neat freaks and it totally drives me crazy
- Pregnancy was my own personal hell
- I’m very into horror flicks
- Halloween is my favorite holiday
- Office supplies are my aphrodisiac
- My husband and I are going to give our next child Danger as its middle name
