Yes, that’s really me.  My husband behind the camera and styling done by a friend; the things we do for portfolio samples!

Ever since I can remember,  I’ve always wanted to be in some sort of creative field; after years of studio classes and forgotten projects I left college with a BFA proudly in-hand. What the heck was I going to do with a BFA? Who would hire me? How would I earn a living?

I was fortunate enough to refine my skills (which is an ongoing process, BTW) while working at one of the leading IR/PR firms in Chicago creating and delivering corporate materials for top-level management. For more than 15 years, I have produced distinctive communications that assist companies with building audience awareness and confidence amongst Wall Street.  I also work directly with some businesses who have very unique products/services: custom boat builder, luxury home realtor, vintage car restorer, events and a few others. My favorite projects are multi-page documents like specialty magazines, booklets, e-reports and annual reports.

I would like to formulate a transition from corporate materials into more fine art/photography with a vintage and classic flair.

I am a freelance designer-slash-art director living in Southern California.  I am also a mixed media artist, trying to find my voice and refine my process of combining analog and digital imagery in my art.  

On the design side, I started more than a decade ago at a small developer, ended up at Universal Studios as an Art Director and have now been freelance for several years.  The art side began in college, though I really didn’t pursue it seriously until last year.  I was fortunate to be able to take the bulk of 2008 off and really focus on my art, which saw my work in a couple group shows.  Now, as we start out 2009, I continue to pursue my art as well as a variety of Flash and New Media projects.
