I am a graphic artist.
A designer.
A communications consultant.

I love people. I also love the perfect mango and rainy days. I love finding the perfect color – just when I think it doesn’t exist. And I love feeling a printed project in my hands when it’s just come off the press – feeling the product of my ideas. I love emails that simply say “perfect” and I love my iPhone. I love mail and I have an obsession with looking through magazines to get inspired. I love purple (my hair is purple) and I am madly in love with my dogs.

I’m not a typical designer.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Political Communications from the George Washington University (Go Colonials!). I am a fanatical National Public Radio listener and a political news junkie.

Several years ago, I got bored. It’s not unusual for me. I went back to school and became a certified web developer and then joined the Design Communication Arts program at UCLA Extension. But I think my design skills come naturally. I’ve been drawing and designing since I was little – making my own fashion magazines with construction paper and colored pencils.

With my new love and skill for design, I started my own business. I started heavily in web and spent a good chunk of time developing niche skills in email design and marketing. But I quickly grew into print and have spent most of my time in print since. I have an eerie fascination with paper.

But I think what I love the most is identity design. Working with a product from step one. Helping a business design their first logo (or sometimes 10th, by the time they reach me) and designing their business cards, website and advertising. Like planting a seed and watching it grow. I love it!
I love what I do. And I am sincerely devoted to meeting my clients’ needs. I am seriously obsessed with my business. And I am obsessed with great design. That’s me.

About Communication Design
I was going to put something here defining communication design. But it occurs to me that if you have to ask, you probably could use my services. But basically, it’s about designing and crafting what people see of your business. I help you look good and sound good.
