Designer Spotlight: Miss Fish
July 6, 2020 by 1 Comment
Whoops… I apologize – had a brain fart and got sidetracked by planting my containers yesterday. So without further ado, let me introduce you to Juli, the most awesome Miss Fish!
Jan: How long have you been designing?
Juli: It will be 4 years in August.
Jan: What made you decide to design?
Juli: I had been a digital scrapbooker for over 14 years. I needed to make a little extra money to do some fun things for myself, like get pedicures and highlights in my hair. Sometimes I’m extra nice and buy my kids and my husband little gifts too.
Jan: What led you to decide to design together?
Juli: Jennifer and I have been real life friends for years. We have similar personalities and tastes. I love working with her because she makes me laugh and pushes me to be a better designer.
Jan: What do you use to create your designs (program, additional tools, etc.)?
Juli: Adobe Photoshop CC
Jan: Describe your design workplace.
Juli: I do most of my designing from laptop which is located in our family room. I have a double wide monitor I use and this set up allows me to work in our main family space so I’m still with everyone while I’m working.
Jan: What motivates and inspires you as a designer?
Juli: I love patterns and colors and sayings. I’ve always been a creative person and creating templates and kits is so much fun and let’s me create things I would like to work with myself.
Jan: What is your favorite kit currently in your GS store and why?
Juli: I make many more templates than kits – I love this one: https://store.gingerscraps.net/Big-and-Little-3-Templates-by-Miss-Fish.html I think it’s an easy pack to theme for any photos and would work with just about any kit. Also, I love that it has so man photo spots!
Jan: If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Juli: Ribeye steak, loaded baked potato, steamed broccoli and carrot cake for dessert. These are all my favorite things that I don’t get to eat often (well, except the broccoli). They are always a treat!
Jan: What is your favorite game or sport to watch and play?
Juli: I love to watch football. If we’re playing games I like Scrabble.
Jan: What did you want to be when you were small?
Juli: A Teacher
Jan: Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without?
Juli: My phone. It keeps me connected to my daughters and the rest of my family.
Jan: Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life?
Juli: Diane Keaton
Jan: If you had a warning label, what would yours say?
Juli: Danger – will eat your cupcake and talk your ear off. Also watch for foul language.
Jan: What celebrity would you like to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee?
Juli: Barack Obama
Ladies, thanks for sharing your talents with all of us!
