New student from Santa Cruz California

[jeaniewatson]

Hi, all: Just wanted to send out a quick note to the forum and say hello. My name is Jeanie and I live in northern California in Santa Cruz county. I have a redesign and organizing business and am a single mom of two. I am 42 yrs old and my background is in graphic design. I worked for Apple and have run my own freelancing business for 15 years. I am looking forward to transitioning to interiors since it has been a passion and hobby of mine almost my entire life.

Anyone else in the U.S.? What state?

Thanks,
Jeanie

Hello Jeanie! My name is Jateme, I go by Eme. I'm new as well, just signed up. I went to school for a year and a half at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and feel it was not worth my time, compared to what this program had to offer. I do not particularly like the design aspect, but I LOVE the decorating aspect. It's exactly what I want. I am also in the states on the west coast, Oregon. I'm quite a bit younger at 24 years old. I'm looking forward to learning more about what I will be doing and in the future will be taking professional organizing and home staging courses. Anyways, thought I'd say hello to another new face!
