Welcome! I’m Cierra. I am a computer science graduate who loves to play violin and craft. I have been doing origami since I was introduced to the craft by my fourth grade teacher. I quickly fell in love and my family had to endure many folded pieces of paper around the house for years. My creative talents didn’t end there. I began playing the violin at 12 (20 years now) playing for the Gulf Coast Youth Symphony Orchestra in my first 2 years of playing and eventually got into cardmaking, scrapbooking, photo album making, and even taught myself how to crochet and tat(lace making) from YouTube videos when I was in college. I look forward to meeting every one who wants to take my classes. Have a great day!
