​Desiree is a passionate paper artist, educator, and creative entrepreneur who has spent years inspiring others to explore their artistic voice through simple materials and mindful techniques. Married for over 20 years, Desiree shares her creative space with her mischievous furry companion, Max—who, much like her, has a knack for getting into paper projects at just the right (or wrong!) moment.

As a Certified Zentangle® Instructor for over five years, Desiree specializes in teaching relaxing, approachable methods of drawing and design that anyone can learn. Her teaching style focuses on breaking techniques down into easy-to-follow steps, making creativity accessible whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned artist looking to expand your skills.

She offers a wide range of full-length, step-by-step courses designed to guide students through everything from foundational Tangle techniques to more advanced mixed media and paper crafting projects. In addition to her in-depth courses, she provides a growing library of free tutorials on YouTube, allowing her community to learn, create, and be inspired at their own pace. For those looking for an even deeper creative experience, she also offers a membership program tailored to fit a variety of crafting interests and skill levels.

At the heart of Desiree’s work is her love for paper as a medium. She believes paper is one of the most versatile and accessible tools for artistic expression—capable of transforming through countless techniques, from tangling and stamping to coloring, layering, and beyond. Her mission is to show others that with just a few supplies and a willingness to explore, anyone can create something beautiful.

Through her teaching, she continues to build a welcoming and encouraging creative community where experimentation is celebrated, creativity flows freely, and every piece of paper holds the potential for something extraordinary.
