I have been working as an Art Director and Graphic Designer now for over 35 years. (I know, crazy, right?) But it’s always been my passion and I consider myself lucky to be one of the few who actually love their job.
SOLVING PROBLEMS IS WHAT I DO BEST. For every project, I strive to deliver memorable and groundbreaking work that strikes an emotional cord.
I am currently working independently for ad agencies, companies and non-profits. Most recently I was Associate Creative Director and Art Director with Wyse Advertising, and have held those same positions with Point to Point, and Brokaw in Cleveland, Ohio. Prior to that I worked as Art Director at Dix&Eaton, Fahlgren, and Malone.
My client experience includes such diverse areas as consumer products, the arts, healthcare, architectural and building products, food service, biosciences, education, business-to-business, telecommunications, banking and utilities. I have worked on everything from television commercials, print ads, websites, digital ads, outdoor boards, and ambient advertising to posters, brochures, direct mail, annual reports, identities and point-of-purchase.

PERSONAL
I live in Brecksville, Ohio with my husband Dave and our cat Peko.
When I’m not working, you can find me outside digging in the dirt, upside down on my yoga mat or playing around with type and ink.
And then there’s always chocolate.
