ABOUT ME

Life is a series of moments, and I enjoy encouraging folks around me. Born and raised in Nebraska, we are a welcoming mid-western community! As I stood in front of a group of friends in Spring 2026, each shared a story of a time when they received a greeting card from me, some when they hit bumps in the road, others when they just simply returned from a trip. Each unique handcrafted card brought them joy in an ordinary moment. Around this time I happened to be in the market for a new makerspace due to a building renovation, and paused to re-organize my displaced supplies. I took their feedback to prayer to consult my Lord and to consider the path in front of me. An inspiration during this time was God’s creation, and man’s contribution like an ancient star from the door of St. John Lateran in Rome. Something real, creating a quality memory that lasts. And so Vinea, latin for vineyard, was born, with encouragement of those around me who thought I had something worth sharing. It would be an honor if you would let me make something for you to share with those folks you encounter in your own life. May God bless the path in front of you as you encourage unity that lasts to those around you.
