# About me
Chloë found her passion for digital media when she got her first digital camera at 15. Not long after that she discovered Photoshop and her passion for retouching was kindled. She had long been exposed to commercial art world as her mother was a part-time freelance designer and her father in the audio-visual industry. She gained a British A-level in art and pursued her passion by enrolling for a BA in graphic design. This widened her scope and nurtured her creative drive. Whilst at university Chloë explored digital painting and illustration, diligently cultivating and developing her proficiency in her spare time.While living in London for 18 months, Chloë was exposed to hi-end beauty retouching and in so doing got a broad understanding of industry standards whilst continuing to hone and increase her skills tool-box.
The last two years she has worked in the high-end side of the publishing and print industry, gaining valuable experience in layout, design and typography. It was in the fine art arena that she excelled in being a colour specialist in regards to both colour retouching and colour matching originals-to-print.
Chloë is ready to take her passion for Photoshop to market and make it her career.

You know, you're like a really good pizza. No, I mean that. A good pizza is unexpected: no one spends their day going "I want pizza" it's always:
"Hey, why don't we order a pizza?"
"AWESOME."
You always make people happy. In this case because you faved a piece of mine, but you know, I'm sure you'd make the cannibals happy in JUST the same way a pizza would. Also, everyone appreciates a well made pizza. All too often one gets a pizza where the cheese sticks to the top, or there's just not enough sauce. So when the perfect one comes along at three in the morning, we all give a sigh of grattitude and dig in.
And you, like the pizza, are appreciated for the fav. So rock on, my extra cheese with peporoni and diced chicken thin-crust, rock on.

I know it's been a long time, years in fact since you and I interacted. I'm so sorry old chum. One just gets caught up in the future and the next thing you know you're the tightrope walker in a Dinosaur run circus. Regardless, I'm sorry I dissappeared for those two decades. To make up for it I've traveled back in time to say something I meant to years ago: Thank you so much for the fav. All these years traveling under ocean with the circus, I've kept that favorite close to my chest- right below the cactus. So thank you, I appreciate it greatly.
And I have to say, your hair really looked like crap back then, I mean now..... just kidding!

So I know you're busy, and I'm busy too, but I just wanted to take a moment out of my day as a lion tamer to thank you for the fruit basket. It was enjoyed by all and the lions didn't kill anyone today simply because we all smelled like melons, so thanks dear friend.
What? You faved a piece of mine? Oh well, uhhhhh that's cool too I guess; but it won't help me from the lions.....

I want to take a moment of your time and say thanks- for the fav that is. I'm hugging you right now out of appreciation. Can you feel it? Oh well....uh..I'm like that tree in the Pocahontas movie; I control the wind. Or something. So that breeze by your little toe? Yeah that's me, just hugging out my grattitude. Or umm... something.

-You have one new message-
*beep*
Baby, it's me. I know you told me not to call, but the judge doesn't have to find out.......I miss you. Why'd it have to end like this? Don't you remember that vacation in Cancun? I do. I mean, you took the time to fav a piece of mine. That means we have something special. It means a lot to me. So just rip up that restraining order and we'll go watch some Mel Brook's movies like old times. Take me back?
Love Kat
Oh, and I'm keeping the underwear.
