Right now I am sewing plushes. I have had my 100% handmade bears sold at an art/gallery store in CA called Nucleus. I sold 3/10 bears total, which is pretty good, but I decided to get my bears back and sell it on my own. Getting money from what I make is nice and all , but most importantly to me is that I want people to like what I make, it really puts a smile to my face knowing that people enjoy my art. Knowing that 3 people who purchased my bear makes me happy because I know they liked it. I know there is many competition in the art world, but I don't let that bring me down, I know and believe one day people will like my art and will bring smiles. So come and follow me on my adventures as an artist. ^___^<br><br> <a href="http://hch5.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://hch5.blogspot.com/</a><br> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/hch05" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/hch05</a><br> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/hch5" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/hch5</a><br> <a href="http://hch.bigcartel.com/" rel="nofollow">http://hch.bigcartel.com/</a> Hello my name is Hilda

Creative field: a little bit of everything. Advertising, graphic design, web design, photography.

So, what do I put next? I trained mainly as a graphic designer, with a bit of advertising and photography thrown in, at what was then Birmingham Poly – now Birmingham City University. Since then (about 16 years ago) I've worked mostly in advertising agencies, learning how to actually do the job. And 6 years ago, I decided to set up on my own. Since then I've branched out into photography and web design, but everything I do is led by commercial experience of what I feel will do the best job for my clients.

In my time I've worked on huge corporate ID projects (Marconi, Manchester Airport Group), lavish brochures for anyone from Bentley and Fortnum and Mason to a sheet metal bashers, advertising campaigns above, below, around and over the line… pretty much every kind of creative project you can think of.

In short, big agency experience without the big agency overheads.

And on the photography side, I've art directed hundreds of shoots, and now I've shot hundreds more. So I can bring an art director's eye to the shoot, meaning my client won't end up with some artful, but ultimately useless shots.

Availability: Always.

We moved from England to Canada a year ago (one of us is English, the other is French-Canadian) and decided to start our own studio in a big, unknown city.

Our clients are mainly people from the area who, like us, are starting their own business. However, we have worked internationally with people from various locations, thanks to the internet.

We have a blog in which we talk about stuff we see, stuff we do and stuff we like.

The studio has two cats/mascots (Steve + Bobo) who sometimes are mentioned in the blog and star in diverse photomontages.
