Partial Client List

Bio

I came from a fine art background focusing on artists’ books and interactive sculptures. While producing a book in the early 1990’s, I worked with a graphic design studio. I was exposed to graphic design software and never looked back. I started doing print design professionally. By the time I got an opportunity to learn to make websites in the mid-90’s, interaction was very natural. I loved collaborating with developers being involved in every phase of a project.

Since that time, I’ve done mostly interactive work and some print in a wide variety of organizations. I’ve been freelance for the last 3 years. Ultimately, I'm looking for a ‘permanent’ home where I can dive head first into collaborating with a smart team doing great work.

Coming from books, I also love storytelling, content generation, copywriting, communications planning.

It's been a wild ride from Boston to Seattle to Prague to London to Oakland to SF.

Attitude

No, thanks. Just good work, really fast, with no drama.

GOOD: Since 1993, I have been one of those designers who can produce her own designs. That means they are as beautiful and professional on screen or in print as they were in presentation.

FAST: The years have honed my skills. I work efficiently and deliver files that don't need to be fixed. And I'm an absolutely scrupulous time-keeper, so in the end my clients save money.

NO DRAMA: Your design isn't about me. I communicate your message to your audience in a way they will understand, and that promotes your professional image.
