Perfect & Proud

A DEBRA NIELSEN COLLABORATION
WITH ALLIE SMITH

Debra Nielsen’s creative career began when a neighbor told her about an interesting freelance opportunity at Hallmark. The idea appealed to the working mom busy raising young kids, and the job became her first opportunity to turn art-which had been a lifelong hobby-into a profession. Ten years later, Debra joined the Keepsake Studio full time. Little did she know when she started as a freelancer that she would still be a Keepsake Artist thirty-three years later.

We Tied the Knot!

As the child of a Hallmark Photo Stylist, Allie Smith practically grew up at Hallmark! “I was photographed for a couple of cards and a calendar as a kid and one of my early drawings became a card, too!” she says. “But I never imagined that I would actually work at Hallmark.” Today, as a successful artist with experience in Greetings and the Visual Studios, Allie is loving the opportunity to share her creativity with Keepsake Ornaments!

As a young girl in Tokyo, Japan, Azusa Omura struggled with learning to write but found she could easily communicate through her drawings. As she grew, Azusa developed a lifelong love of animals, comic books, and Japanese anime that still influences her art today. “I like making things that people find cute and sweet..,” she says, “and I am so happy that I can make a meaningful difference for others by doing something I like to do!”

Congrats, Grad!

Terri Steiger takes her time gathering ideas and inspiration. It’s her favorite part of creating Keepsake Ornaments. She loves diving deep into the Hallmark Archives–a treasure trove of vintage cards, design patterns, and gift products from Hallmark’s rich history. The inspiration she finds can influence a design, a story, or sometimes an entire concept. No matter the source, Terri’s ultimate goal is to make sure the meaning behind an ornament always shines through.
