Katie Fluke
Founder of Anzivino Designs.
After graduating from Kutztown University in 2007 with my BFA in Crafts and then again in 2012 with my Masters of Education, I decided to take a break from building my career while I stayed home to raise my three wonderful children. While staying at home I would do the occasional craft show or design invitations for my children’s birthday parties, and endlessly shop at Home Goods fueling my addiction for home decor . It wasn’t until I was asked by my sister to design her wedding invitations, and heard the feedback from friends and family, that I truly believed that this was more than just a passion but would be my career. With the love and support of my husband, family, and friends I decided to launch Anzivino Designs.
I decided that not only would I design invitations, but I would take my love for everything crafty and create a place where other craft enthusiasts could go to get inspiration and even to shop!
After launching Anzivino Designs, I started to think about other ways I could help others and realized that not only would I like to help people design invitations and decorate, but I would also love to help other women with finding affordable fashion by creating a blog. Fashion has always been one of my biggest passions. After having children I found that it was little more challenging to be able to take time and find clothes that were stylish and keep up with current hair and makeup trends as well as within budget (3 college tuitions in 10-15 years is already on my mind!). One day it hit me though, that just because I have children doesn’t mean that I don’t have the time, you just need to know where and when the sales are and how to work them so you get the most bang for your buck. I also thought it would be nice to provide a place that other women could go to hear about what sales are going on and where you can get the latest trend updates. So with my husband, camera, kids in tow I went on the hunt for all the best fashion deals!!
