About

While I was quite at home designing in the corporate world for years, I always knew I wanted design to be more for me. I’ve had this idea to break into the invitations and stationery market for a while now and the wish to be part of special occasions in peoples lives – and adding beautiful designs along the way. This is how Charming Chestnuts was born. Now I finally have an avenue where I can realize this dream and create, learn and inspire.

I grew up in a small town in Germany, met my husband and lived for 12 years in Australia before settling in the beautiful South USA – at least for now. I’m half Puerto Rican (my blond hair and fair complexion makes people never believe that one) half German, my hubby is half Australian and half Thai and so my two beautiful boys are a mix of the best of all of that.

Our adventurous life together has taken us all around, but no matter where I go, I want to try to see the beauty in every day things. I want to explore the world around me, try new things, learn new things, and go new places – both near and far. I want my life to become a whole new experience. I want adventure 😉

Most importantly I want to thank you for taking the time to visit my site, reading my rambles and hopefully enjoying my designs. It means the world to me.

And now that you know a bit more about me, I would love to also learn more about YOU! I love connecting with fellow bloggers, designers and readers. So don’t be shy, drop me a line and join me on my adventure in this creative, crazy life.
