Jesse Edwards
After earning a collegiate degree in Multimedia design I worked in many different fields of design, both print and web. I started working for a company called Chatterbox, primarily as a web site designer and coordinator. During my time with the company I evolved into product design and ended up designing a large portion of the products. After leaving Chatterbox, I sought to do more in the scrapbooking world. Now I sell and license designs to a companies, including Autumn Leaves, Blue Moon Beads, Making Memories, GCD Studios, and Papermania. I also design and sell digital scrapbooking products through www.designerdigitals.com.
Christine Smith
I have been a digital designer since the beginning of 2006, when I was named one of Digital Scrapbooking Magazine's "Best and Brightest" designers. I use my 12 years of paper scrapping and 5 years of digital scrapping experience to design pages and kits with realism and artistic appeal. Really, I'm just a computer geek at heart, though! I have also dabbled in web design, promotional materials and other graphic design work and have been published a couple times in paper scrapping magazines. I am now selling my own designs at christinesmith.net so please visit my store.
