Today’s featured mom has a fantastic way of helping other moms. She designs blogs for them! Not only does she do great work but she also offers some freebies just for fun like the polka dot background graphics shown at left. Read her interview and find out how to get them as well as a few other great freebies.

H: How long have you been doing what you do?

L: I have always been artistic in one way or another all growing up but it wasn’t until after the birth of my daughter that I found interest in graphic design.

H: How did you get started?

L: I actually originally started doing digital scrapbooking for my daughters milestones and it just grew into a passion for helping other people once I saw there was a need for that sort of thing. One of my passions is simply doing things for other people and this filled that desire perfectly.

H: Were you creative before you had children?

Yes, I have always been creative in one way or another whether is be sewing, crocheting, photography, etc.

H: How do you find time to stay creative?

L: Lets just say that nap times and my husband are a God-send! I don’t know how I would get anything done without those 2 precious things. My husband also works from home so we take turns taking care of our little girl.

H: Do your kids show any creative spirit??

L: Well consider my daughter is only 14 months, about the only creative spirit she shows is with her food!

H: What have you learned after having your kids (in relation to your art)?

L: One of the main things is helping other mothers like myself achieve a freedom to stay home with their children while providing an income and doing what they love. I knew before having children that I would do whatever it took to stay home with my kids. I have done that and just want the same for other mothers.

As far as my art goes, I have learned a tremendous amount also. I have really learned that I truly enjoy graphic design and photography above all other creative outlets I used to have. I guess I have just found my niche.

H: Anything else to add?

L: First I just want to say thank you Heather for featuring me on Maternal Spark!
