Experience designers create meaningful relationships among people, products, services, and environments. Research approaches include concepts, methods, and processes from social sciences, interaction design, visual design, psychology, business and engineering.
We collaborate, facilitate and listen. We dive into what works and what doesn’t work for teams, divisions, clients, customers and vendors.

We repeat our work until big ideas form into detailed design solutions that are feasible, viable and aspire to surprise and delight. Solutions could be desktop, mobile, software, services, or a simple process recommendation.

As a graphic artist, I created and completed messaging and communications solutions in a wide variety of media. Various media types included print advertising, company newsletters, promotional materials, sales collateral, stationary, and packaging.

I worked in direct marketing, corporate rebranding and creative design. I established trusted relationships with other designers and key clients including E*TRADE and TDAMERITRADE.

As a graphic artist, I designed publications for hospitals and health care organizations. We used a variety of media including magazines, newsletters, posters, tabloids and booklets.

I managed and coordinated graphic design projects. From concept through completion, I coordinated content, created photo illustrations, corrected images and designed pages. I worked with copy editors and project managers to save time and maximize client return on investment.
