Hi, I'm Anne.
I'm a graphic designer based in the Seattle area with 20+ years design experience.
I'm an optimistic problem solver. I love helping my client find design solutions for complex projects. Creating beautiful print materials and compelling, functional digital designs to effectively reach your target audience is one of my passions. My hidden superpower is crafting and editing images in Photoshop. I secretly love finding creative ways to organize and visualize large amounts of information in InDesign. I am an expert in Adobe Creative Cloud and proficient in Microsoft Office. I enjoy the creative energy that comes from working with or leading a team but I also excel when working on my own. Brand standards, good typography, and a hot cup of tea make me happy. I look forward to seeing how we can work together in the future. -Anne |
