The sidewalk is my runway and the city is my concrete playground. I am a Des Moines Fashion Blogger and Tech Scenester. During the weekday sunshine hours, I manage corporate marketing and public relations for Doextra, a professional services firm that specializes in sales training and performance through CRM technology (http://www.doextra.com). In the evening and on weekends, I am on the fashion blogger beat - writing about the best Creatives, events, shops and designers in town. My work is frequently featured on dsm Magazine's website (http://www.dsmmagazine.com). Other PR and copywriting projects have been done for Cornerstone of Hope Orphanage, the Technology Association of Iowa, and the Des Moines Derby Dames.
