I&#8217;ve been a graphic designer for 25+ years specializing in print design and brand development. Before my entrepreneur journey I worked for government contractors, ad agencies and well known companies. After deciding to venture out on my own, and working freelance graphic design for a bit, I dabbled in illustration. I created 3 hand drawn <a href=\"https:\/\/patriciakouttab.com\/index.php\/coloring-pages\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"19\">coloring books<\/a> that are available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/stores\/Patricia-Kouttab\/author\/B01HSWUGC4?ref=ap_rdr&amp;isDramIntegrated=true&amp;shoppingPortalEnabled=true&amp;ccs_id=8606718b-9921-429e-a602-861ed41b83db\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/stores\/Patricia-Kouttab\/author\/B01HSWUGC4?ref=ap_rdr&amp;isDramIntegrated=true&amp;shoppingPortalEnabled=true&amp;ccs_id=8606718b-9921-429e-a602-861ed41b83db\">Amazon<\/a>. Then I really took a jump and opened a toy store in 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/kerbobble-toys.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/kerbobble-toys.com\/\">Kerbobble Toys<\/a>! This is by far my biggest creation and we absolutely love what it has become. We&#8217;re a family owned and operated toy store in Historic Manassas offering used, new and vintage toys and collectibles. I recently had the honor of <a href=\"https:\/\/patriciakouttab.com\/index.php\/the-old-town-mural\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"176\">painting a mural<\/a> on the wall of our Kerbobble Toys building that welcomes visitors into the city, along with my daughter Cassidy Jellison. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an interesting project that you think I would be a good fit for, I am available for freelance creative projects such as painted murals, limited graphic design projects and other art projects or commissions. Here I&#8217;ll post some of the creative things I&#8217;ve done over the years and most recently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up!&#8221; &#8211; Patricia Kouttab I thought I&#8217;d share just some of my creative experience with you here.
