I may be in my late 20s, but I have a penchant for making silly faces, acting ridiculous and dressing up, all in the name of making those around me smile, chortle or shake their heads. I am no stranger to loud, dreadful music and moments of dancing with a bass beat so heavy, the furniture shakes. I may, at times, drink too much coffee, but at least that leads to impossibly fast sentences that may or may not be coherent mumbles. I’ve taken to drinking tea in the afternoons.

I grew up reading books and wanting nothing more than to be an author. Somewhere on my journey, I took a pit stop in Advertising, thinking a life of copy writing would instead be my destination. Instead, I fell into designing and haven’t been able to crawl out of its dark and very deep pit of creativity, colour and wonderful smell of a newly printed project. That seems to happen to a lot of us, doesn’t it? Well, not the deep, dark pits of stuff, but deviation. Divine intervention. Confusion. Lack of knowing what you want to do with your life. Whatever you want to call it, it happens to many.

And so, here we are. My name is Victoria. I’m a freelance designer, part time photographer, quarter time Etsy retailer and generally, a little quirky.

It may be passé to say, but kittens are great. I am the young lady who thought she’d turn into the old, cat lady. Shucks. I guess not.

I have a cat. She is fantastically named Beatrice Pussyfoots the Second of Tuna Town. No, there was no Beatrice Pussyfoots before her. Go with it.

I am married to a ridiculous man who sends me equally ridiculous photos throughout the day to make me smile.

I am in love with Pumpkin Spice coffee and clothing that reflects my need for delicious, tasty treats.

I watch Gilmore Girls much too much and, when able, play too much Minecraft, Sims, and board games when I can convince someone to play with me. I run as much as I can. I’ve taught Zumba to unsuspecting classes of ladies. Everyone survived. Thank goodness.

I’ve gone on adventures. I’ve stayed in and read, instead.

Sometimes, life is fun and sometimes it’s dreadful(ly boring).

Let’s do this.
