About Me

I actually have a degree in English literature and did not plan on being a graphic designer, much less having my own business. Working an entry-level job at USC, I was enlisted to help with a design project, and I was entranced. I taught myself programs like QuarkXPress and CorelDRAW. Graphic design using computers was still new enough that I was able to find a job as a self-taught designer. At my first job, I made connections with print reps who referred me to their customers. Those early projects led to clients I have to this day, who have helped to build my business with referrals.

I strive to provide peace of mind for every client. There are the simple, daily acts—responding quickly, meeting deadlines, and providing quality work. Knowing that a client has a lot of deadlines but is not good at project management, I will follow up on outstanding projects to make sure that they don’t fall through the cracks. Noticing that a client struggles with details, I will double-check info and spelling. If a client needs something I can’t provide myself, I’ll find a colleague or service that can help. For me, the reward is not the bottom line, but being able to make someone else’s life a little happier or easier. A client sending me a note of thanks for being someone they can count on or making their project look great is what brings me joy.
