Experiences
Small Business Ownership
I’ve been a freelancer since 2009 offering my art and designs to a handful of businesses and non-profits around Southern California. From 2013-2015 I had a business and shop in Downtown Long Beach with my husband called Mixt Media Arts where we sold alternative/eco-friendly art supplies, held art walks, gallery shows, and art workshops.
