“Design is the silent ambassador of your brand.” – Paul Rand

I know how hard your job is. I've worked in this industry for 20+ years now and I see it all the time, Marketing Directors and Business Owners under huge pressure to get multiple marketing projects off the ground and running. I make your life easier by taking care of all the little details. I do the heavy lifting on those marketing projects behind the scenes...plus, you have someone in your corner that knows the industry. 

I've worked in several different areas of design:

• Printing Industry: Which fueled my love of all things ink and paper
• Publishing Industry: A lot of late nights getting magazines published & out the door!
• Ad Agency: Working at an agency in the warehouse district eventually made me realize I wanted to start my own design studio. I bring my design thinking into every aspect of client work. I love helping other businesses succeed by achieving their marketing goals through design.

After working in the agency world, I saw first hand how much gets lost in translation from client communications to project manager to creative. Remember that game you may have played as a child called Telephone, where you sat in a big circle and the first person whispers a secret into the next person's ear and so on? By the time it gets to the end of the circle, the message gets muddled. It's kind of like that...let's just say it left a lot to be desired. That's one of the reasons why I went out on my own. I see the client relationship as a necessary part of the design process. Many of my clients have been on my roster for over 10 years. Why? Because I enjoy the direct interaction and client relationships. It makes it so much easier to dive in and really understand what your needs are and how I can help.  

A little bit about me: When I’m not busy at work, I enjoy spending time outdoors; camping trips up north, kayaking on nearby lakes; or just taking a walk in the neighborhood. I am also a big proponent of water quality. I am involved in several local groups serving as President of The Friends of Northwood Lake Association and as Alternate Commissioner on the Bassett Creek Watershed Commission.
