About Me:
Hmm - I'm so many random things rolled up into one that it's hard to even begin! I guess I'll just start at the beginning. . . I grew up in a very small town called Sherwood, Ohio where I had aspirations of becoming a famous fashion designer. All I wanted to do was get out of there and designing was how I was going to do it! I ended up at Kent State University where I changed my major to advertising after a year in fashion design. While there, I met the amazing man I now call my husband. We moved to Charlotte, North Carolina and that's where I realized I wanted to get back closer to that small town I grew up in! Funny how things change! So now we're back in Ohio, closer to family and friends - happier than ever. I'm not quite a fashion designer or an advertising executive, I'm one better than that - I get to help brides dream up beautiful creations for their weddings every single day!
About My Business
My company, baci - designer stationery & events, was created in January 2008 a few months after my own wedding. My quest for the perfect invitations seemed to be doomed from the beginning so I decided to take a stab at designing them myself and they turned out fabulous! After the dust settled from all the wedding craziness, baci (kisses in Italian) was born. At baci, I work with brides and grooms from the beginning to help them create exactly what they envision for their special days. Everything is custom made just for them!
My Proudest Accomplishment
My proudest accomplishment is definitely creating baci - I never in a million years thought I could do something I love every single day and make a living doing it.
My Favorite Pasttime
My husband and I are movie addicts! I could also listen to music for hours on end.
Why I Love My Profession
I love designing stationery and events because I have the pleasure of talking to people about what will be the happiest day of their life - it's a daily joyous experience.
