I'm just a girl from Kentucky living in the big city of Chicago, following her heart and living life to the fullest. Managing a restaurant and bar pays my bills but I am an artist at heart and love all things creative. I hold degrees in graphic design, public administration and history (not accumulated in that order, that is a whole other story) and freelance as a graphic designer under my company bloomdesignstudio.com. I have a passion for art, architecture, writing, interior design, photography, painting, drawing and many other creative endeavors. If I haven't tried it, I probably want to (sewing is on my list of things that I never seem to get around to, among many others.) It is my hope that this blog will be a creative outlet for me and that it will remind me to slow down and remember those things that stir my soul.
