Hi, I'm Brandie Lucas.
I'm a wife, homeschool mom of three, and a lover of graphic design. I’ve been solving visual communication challenges professionally for 26 years and have never regretted my career choice. I truly believe the old saying “if you do what you love and get paid for it, you will never work a day in your life.” My passion is to share what I’ve learned with those who share the same vision in the art field. Let’s have some fun learning together!
