My name is JoAnn Sophia Mimbach, and I am an artist. As a child I was intrigued by art. Over time that interest plus my ability to heed the smallest details eventually developed into a passion. Always grasping opportunities to not only learn but also to understand the processes of art and many applications has lead me to becoming a versatile person. My versatility and love of art has lead to my career as a graphic designer. Being a person with an imagination that never stops, I have created a style that has a one-of-a-kind look and feel, is professional, and frequently contains hand-made elements. Hand-made elements have been lost in this advanced world of graphics and lack thereof time. With my graphic design knowledge and versatile creative edge, I can guarantee you these are 100% Natural Ideas.
