Manager

I have been working in the picture framing business off and on for over 20 years. It started working with my mom, Linda Thompson at Creative Framing in the Venice location helping her out with building the frames and learning the business when I was growing up. Over the years, I kept coming back into the picture framing industry and finally embraced what I really enjoy doing, which was helping others out in creating a one-​of-​a-​kind pieces to showcase in the their homes/​offices. I find it rewarding to work with the customer in the design process and seeing the reaction of the customer when they pick up their piece from my store. I love working with all types of mediums and always provide the highest quality of service on each project that I do. «Creativity is Our Specialty». Please stop by to see me and I would love to work with you to create a beautiful piece you will cherish for a long time.
