WHAT I DO
The Short...
I am a graphic artist. I design for print and web. I organize layouts, I problem-solve, I obsess over details. Basically, I make things pretty. It’s certainly more complicated than that and yet...it’s not.
The Long...
Isn’t it all relative? Random mixes, chance meetings, unlikely unions. Ecclectic synergy: how the love of French Impressionists, crisp fall days and those fuzzy blue airline blankets, among other things, swirl together to manifest as art, as style. That, I suppose, is the mystery of design. When we cozy up to seemingly unrelated philosophies and tastes, who knows what interesting creatures might crawl out onto the canvas if given such freedoms? Being labeled as an eccentric is the only way to fly, artistically.
When inspired by a variety of sources, one produces work that communicates. But what that work says is up to you. We create something unique, you and I. You give meaning to that which I have given life.
The Specifics...
I design business cards, post cards, logos, billboards, websites, magazine & newspaper ads, Instagram and Facebook covers / reels / ads, magazine covers, editorial spreads, coupons, email marketing / newsletters, eBooks, banners, custom illustrations, bumper stickers, magnets, envelopes, flyers & brochures, hang tags, invitations, letterhead and second sheets, posters, rack cards, tickets, signage, koozies, umbrellas, trade show booths, holiday / greeting / thank you cards, menus, name tags, note pads, calendars, event programs, newsletters, table tents, custom maps, stickers, window cling, custom architectural drawings, vehicle wraps...and a partridge in a pear tree.
PORTFOLIO
ABOUT LM
I've always loved art, always loved creating.
I have a B.A. in Computer Graphic Design with an emphasis in print and web design as well as minors in Interior Design, Advertising, Psychology and Fine Arts.
Throughout my professional career as an award-winning graphic designer in various positions (lead designer, project manager, art director, and creative director), my love for art has always been with me, inspiring me. Having spent the majority of my career in advertising and publishing, I have been privileged and humbled to work with so many amazing clients. It is my daily joy to combine my love for art with the ability to help my clients present themselves in the best possible light.
I want to make my clients look like a million bucks, and I'm lucky and blessed to be able to spend my days doing just that.
