My name is Laura, and I am an award-winning <em>(and yet self-taught)<\/em> graphic designer who got my start in web design and development, and currently specializes in surface design and product creation for the scrapbooking industry.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, I work mainly for the digital and paper scrapbooking industries, designing product lines under my own name <em>(sold at <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.thedigitalpress.co\/Laura-Passage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Digital Press<\/strong><\/a>),<\/em> as well as for companies such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.echoparkpaper.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Echo Park Paper Company<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CartaBellaPaper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Carta Bella Paper Company<\/strong><\/a>. I am also the owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedigitalpress.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Digital Press<\/strong><\/a>, which I helped found in late-2014 and have since grown into one of the premier digital scrapbooking sites on the web.<\/p>\n<p>My designs tend to be bright, colorful, and fun&#8230; and can be used in the creation of scrapbooking pages <em>(both paper &amp; digital),<\/em>\u00a0photo books, and\/or all sorts of hybrid paper crafting <em>(such as invitations, baby announcements, cards, gifts, party favors, etc.).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fun trivia? I was formerly a college soccer coach before &#8220;retiring&#8221; to work at home full-time as a graphic designer after having kids. When I&#8217;m not busy managing the day-to-day operations of my company or designing new product lines, you can find me in the Pacific Northwest where I live with my husband and two sons. We&#8217;re an active, sport-loving gang (Go Timbers! Go Thorns! Go Blazers! <em>#RCTID<\/em>) that celebrates &#8220;Donut Day&#8221; together every single Sunday morning <em>(and yes, it&#8217;s entirely possible that our kids literally think Sunday is called &#8220;Donut Day&#8221;).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for stopping by to check out my little corner of the internet!
