Hi, I'm Rose!
Being creative just is for me — it’s part of who I am. I come from a crafty family, and for me, it’s always been about paper. As a kid, I didn’t have Barbie dolls — I had paper ones (and yes, I shed a few tears when those tiny tabs tore off their clothes!). That love of paper never left. It led me through high school art and graphics, into a 25+ year career in graphic design, from corporate roles to freelancing, and eventually founding my own studio, Design Squared. I love working collaboratively to create beautiful, practical design — and Stampin’ Up! turned out to be a perfect creative partner.

I joined Stampin’ Up! 15 years ago during a tough season of motherhood, when I was completely burnt out and in desperate need of me-time. What started as a creative escape became a new lease on life — a way to reconnect with myself and rediscover joy through creativity, confidence, and connections. Now, I share that spark with others — helping crafters unlock their creative confidence through projects, techniques, and community. Whether you're joining a class, tuning into a live demo, or following along online, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s make something beautiful together.

I run monthly papercraft classes in-person, or byi-monhtly online – you can see my events calendar here. I also like to have fun and share ideas online – join me on Facebook or Instagram.
