Who is behind these ideas?

Hi!  I’m Jeromina Juan, here to share with you the joys of crafting, entertaining, and travels.  Some tidbits about me and where I get my inspiration:

After many tests, including attempts at altering results, I am a proven ENFP – The Inspirer.  It sums up my unshaken need to take risks: skydiving solo (landing on my feet); starting a business (landing on my face and getting back up), driving with the gas light on…

A degree specializing in Architecture at the University of Toronto led me to designing custom wedding invitations for a living from 2006-2011.  My passion for paper started very early.  I was that little girl throwing tantrums at the mall (over stationery at Sanrio), to my mother’s chagrin.

An interest in cooking didn’t surface until the ripe age of 28.  With zilch culinary education, an ardent appetite drives my compulsion to make food (or versions of what I think food could be).

I always consider how things could be (both a blessing and a curse).  To keep inspired, I host educational parties for children on weekends.  During the work week, I coordinate utility design in a civil engineering firm.

I am often on a plane to the San Francisco Bay Area, California for my love, O.T.   Times in between, I reside in a suburb of T.O.  (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).  Since December of 2011, O.T. has relocated to the Hudson Valley in New York, and our travel distance has become much shorter.

I’d love to know what inspires you and how you approach the creative bug!  Kindly drop me a line about the crafty, foodie, jet-setting topics that interest you and that you would like to see more of over here at paper, plate, and plane.

Or let me know if my perspective can be of use in your publication, in print or online.  I am always up for a creative challenge and would love to bring new ideas to life.
