Patty Young grew up in
San Jose, Costa Rica, in an environment where she was encouraged to express her
creativity freely. Both of her parents dabbled in the arts so it was only
natural that she would inherit their creative genes. They moved to the United States
in 1987 and Patty attended The University of Central Florida from '89 to '93
where she received her Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design and
Photography.
Over the next 12 years, Patty honed her graphic design skills at a number of marketing agencies before deciding to leave her corporate job in 2005 to stay home with her children and pursue her own creative endeavors.
Today, Patty owns and operates MODKID LLC and serves in the role of Lead
Designer. MODKID specializes in high quality boutique-style sewing patterns
which include children's and women's clothes, doll clothes, purses and other assorted
accessories and home furnishings. Patty also designs textiles, ribbons,
scrapbooking papers, die-cutting shapes and many other craft-related products.
