I graduated a full 4 years from Hollins College, a private women’s college in Roanoke, Virginia.  My junior year I studied abroad in Paris, France, where I lived with a family and their two children. Mornings I and walked past L’Arc de Triomphe on my way to school. I studied and spoke a lot of French, and pretty much had all sorts of cool adventures that you’d expect from a creative optimistic energetic 18 year old.

After college, armed with a Liberal Arts degree, I attended, and graduated from The Art Institute of Houston (2 years), with a degree in Visual Communications.

Then along came apple and digital printing:

I worked about 3 years at a Kinkos (before they merged with FedEx), which is where my education about computers, and offset printing became more deeply founded. I learned so much working there. I got to see the printing process up-close. I learned how to create metal plates that the 2-color presses used for print jobs. (Another run was necessary for 4 color work.) I saw the 2- or 4- color printing process first-hand which was invaluable to a graphic artist…as you might imagine.

With the arrival of apple computers came the ability to do magazine and book layouts digitally on a computer. It was a major change in the way printing happened and opened up new doors for the art of graphic design.

I am a creative person who loves what I do. I will listen to you and get a clear understanding of what you want to accomplish. Together we will construct the map and strategy that works best for you. I can build you a wordpress website that you will be proud to send inquiring minds to.

I will listen, gather and act upon a strategy to produce your desired product, be it a website, logo, stationery package, or book cover design.

How I am different:

I want to know you and understand your needs. I am curious and will ask questions until I the picture becomes clear and I know what the next step is. I want to know who and what I am creating for and why I am creating it. Do YOU know why you want a website?

I love the thrill I feel when the web design comes together. It is a moment. Visitors to your site will love that thrill, too.
