Nancy Martinez

As one of the founders of Cloud 9 Design she is excited as she is nearing her 6th year as manufacturers in this great business we call – Scrapbooking! She has 4 years previously in a retail scrapbook store setting and an additional 3 years prior being a scrapbooker. Add it all up and a great portion of her life has been consumed with her passion for this craft!
The goal of Cloud 9 Design is to help you find your creativity by providing you with fresh, innovative and simple to use products that inspire great results!
It may take months in their design process but at the end of the day she asks herself, do our products make sense? Are they "scrapbookable?" Do they work? That is so important to Nancy that she actually “uses” her products during the design phase to make sure they are “scrapbookable” and work well together. She looks at their design scale, color, the design itself – making sure they make sense. When she can say “Yes! I would buy that!” then that’s when you will see it in the marketplace.
Her inspiration comes from many different directions. Her passion for scrapbooking is so great that she says that she lives and breathes it. Inspiration comes in the middle of the night, as she walks through a mall, when taking in the décor of a restaurant, picking up a cool t-shirt design, etc.
