Founder, art director, designer, and head Genius. I launched Genius Creative in 2013 after a long career working as a freelancer and as a staff designer at boutique studios. I used to live in Chicago. Now I live in Seattle. I work with clients all over, designing for big corporations, small businesses, social-service non-profits, arts organizations, and more. In all, I’ve been a designer for more than 25 years, and I’ve loved every minute of it.
Sometimes when you hire an independent designer, you get someone who’s gifted artistically, but not so gifted when it comes to essentials like communication, production, and delivering on time. That’s not me. I’m one of the grown-ups in the room—an accomplished design professional who defines success as smart, fresh design expertly executed and perfectly delivered. For you, that adds up to one thing above all: Confidence.
Genius is about the big ideas and the small details. Genius means delightful and compelling creative built with thoughtful strategy, a clear process, and a collegial spirit. Genius isn’t all about me. It’s about what we create together.
My Gang of Geniuses.
No woman is an island. I have rich, collaborative relationships with writers, photographers, web developers, additional design pros, and other creatives. Whatever your project requires, I’ll help you build a team of talented, grounded professionals who’ll deliver valuable communications assets you’ll be proud of.
Independent, yet plays well with others.
I can slip seamlessly onto your team as gracefully as I can build a team of my own. If you’ve got a Genius-shaped gap to fill, let’s talk.
