About Karidy Walker

Hi! My name is Karidy (a combination of the names Kari and Dee), and since early childhood, I've had a passion for art and creativity. I have a BA in graphic design from Western Washington University, and I feel so blessed to be a part of the minted community. When I'm not designing, you'll find me baking or decorating while hanging out with my husband and two beautiful girls.

Thanks much for the response regarding the text submission. Minted did say that they'd submit those design suggestions prior to voting - but due to the high volume of entries with paired designs they thought perhaps they'd instead be considered a repurpose. SO perhaps there's still hope. If you feel it's a good fit you could shoot them an email. We'd both still benefit from the commission even if it wasn't in the running for prizes. Hope you're enjoying the vacation time!
