Hello! I'm Paula Alvey, though I go by Shelly. I enjoy cross stitching, board games, and walks with my cuddly Australian Shepherd, Redd. I am also a bit of Disney history nerd and love to talk about the Disney Parks. Most of all, I have background in education and fine arts.
To me, Graphic Design combines my two favorite things- facilitating learning and the study of visual arts. After seven years in elementary education, I know how important a great image can make a topic stick. It can differentiate learning for all students, clarify meaning, or just create an entertaining experience.
I spent the 2020-2021 school year teaching virtually. It was a challenge, for sure. My go-to lessons had to adjusted for a digital platform. However, I enjoyed the challenge to expand digitally on my creative skills. This experience made me realize that I wanted to transition into enhancing learning though computer graphics as a full time career. Images are things we use everyday to better understand the world around us. They enhance our learning and engage us with information.
I created this site to share my projects and ideas. As a lifetime learning, I am constantly diving into new ways to grow and would love to share these muses with you. I hope you enjoy.
Thank you so much for visiting!
