About me.

My story.

I began my career in the world of advertising agencies. The experience I derived from my time in that environment was invaluable. 

Being the daughter of a freelance journalist, I knew there was an alternative to the big agency career that better fit my lifestyle. I wanted to offer a more hands-on approach, efficient time management that translates to lower costs for my clients, and fresh ideas flowing both ways in our direct communications.

For the last 30 years, I’ve provided organizations of all sizes, from a range of industries, with a full suite of visual communications.

The nucleus of my business is offering value-driven design capabilities while providing you with high-touch personalized service. 

Why work with me?

Value.

I offer high-quality work at affordable, agreeable prices. And working with me puts an extensive network of illustrators, photographers, writers, and strategists in the palm of your hand—with no markups for their services.

 

service.

I provide high-touch client service which means when you work with me, you’ll always be able to reach me directly. So, you’ll never have to chase me down to ask questions, discuss goals, or troubleshoot challenges.

dependability.

I always come through. Being independent makes me agile while being well-connected makes me versatile. But what’s kept so very many clients with me, often for a decade or more, is their trust that I’ll always deliver for them.

My passions.

My professional and personal lives often overlap because of one factor: passion.

Painting.

For as long as I can remember I’ve loved to paint. It also gives me greater skill and insights into design and illustration.

Environmentalism.

I’m an environmentalist and nature lover. I draw a lot of design inspiration from the simple things in the natural world.

Photography.

As a visual person, I’ve grown to deeply enjoy photography. I shoot for my enjoyment but can also use this skill to benefit clients working with tight budgets. 

Writing.

I’ve been surrounded by writers for my entire life. And, as a result, I’ve developed a love for working collaboratively with writers to create concepts for clients.
