With over 30 years in graphic and textile design, I pride myself as an innovative and style–oriented artist, demonstrating a high level of taste in the development of business, office and marketing needs. I enjoy designing a company marketing and personal image engineered to fit digital web design, paper and office products, and textile designs for stationery/wedding/invitations/tabletop, home décor, and apparel.

What makes a great website?
Stickiness. Instant impact that keeps the viewer searching for more throughout the site.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I would ask to see your website or your logo. If you do not have either, I would ask you to create a tagline for your business and tell me to which business do you aspire to?
What information do you need from a client before you start work?
I ask for ideas for favorite color combinations, a tagline, any existing artwork, logos and fonts.
What sorts of printing projects do you usually cater for?
Surface designs on 4-8 color printing presses in CMYK and custom Pantone colors. Digital and flexographic.
Describe your creative process.
Send me files and specs to review your company's existing artwork. I will research your website and your competitors to estimate the job you need. I'll discuss your due date and the timeline you wish to follow. With as much design information, specs and existing artwork I need to finish, I will deliver a first draft. A second draft will be delivered with corrections. A third draft will be delivered for tweaking. Additional design work will be discussed on a per project basis. Upon approval, I will deliver a final file for prepress and follow up with the production of the final product.

What do you love most about your job?
I love tackling a new design with a new client. Getting to know them and their company story, promotes both of our businesses and our style.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After receiving my BFA and working in New York City for 5 years, I went to Fashion Institute of Technology to get my degree in Textile Design. I started working full time in Textiles, Gift and Stationery design while freelancing at the same time for 20 years. It was my dream to eventually freelance full time from home with my family. I was an art director with a wonderful company for 15 years. Sadly, we were bought out and I saw the perfect time to start my own business. I had high end experience and a full network of designers and vendors to work with to make a great start to my dream.
Why should our clients choose you?
Dedicated and responsible throughout the timeline making sure your final designs are on time and 100% to your satisfaction.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I can provide all my services by emailing ideas and files as .jpgs, .pdf’s, .png’s and screenshots. I’m available 24/7.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I try to make working remotely very timely, communicative and enjoyable. I wear a mask, get tested and I've gotten my two final vaccines and booster for necessary meetings.
Wedding Invitation Package
Customize your Save the Date card. It does not need to match your Wedding Invitation. Create a beautiful presentation with matching invitation, envelopes, rsvp, info card, and map. Use the same theme for your big day with seating chart, table numbers, menus, place cards and onsite activities. Create stationery and thank you notes for your guests following the wedding. Everything printed and delivered to you on time with a smile :)
Business Identity Package
Updating or starting a new business? I'll work along side with you to make an eye-catching logo or redesign. Your letterhead, business cards, envelopes and various marketing collateral will all be similarily themed and created to present your business identity and brand.
I will suggest launching a first page of your website with a similar theme to increase your presence amongst competitors. All printed and delivered!
