"As colleagues at Loyola University Chicago and then as independent entrepreneurs, Joanne and I have worked together for more than two decades. Joanne is an upbeat teammate and great communicator who works effectively on diverse projects with a range of clients and colleagues. She's an extremely talented designer whose special strengths in color and typography result in work that stands out for its clean elegance and sophistication. As a writer, I especially appreciate Joanne's devotion to ensuring that copy and visuals align to create strong and seamless messages. It's been my true pleasure to team with Joanne—I look forward to doing so for many years to come."
—Gail M., Independent Writing and Editing Professional

"I have worked with Joanne on various projects for nearly 20 years. During that time, marketing delivery has evolved and changed, and Joanne has always been well educated on the newest technologies and vehicles to reach targeted audiences. Not only is she an innovative designer, she is easy to work with, a stickler for the smallest details, and a problem solver. I have always appreciated her candor, professionalism and ability to deliver just what I need."
—Jill R., Marketing Manager, Digital IT Consulting Firm

"Joanne was a lifesaver for our marketing team, time and time again. She turned around every project we threw at her— from the last-minute email, to the point-of-purchase signage, to the highly detailed catalogue — with promptness, thoroughness, creativity, and a smile. She is a pleasure to work with!
—Megan H., Marketing Manager, Online and luxury brands

“I have worked closely with Joanne on several creative projects over the past ten years and she always manages to exceed my expectations with her creativity, innovation and professionalism. She is more than just a highly skilled creative designer, she is a strategic partner that I can count on to add value to my projects every step of way. Joanne always sees the big picture and is an individual who you can count on to get the job done – on time and on budget. What I admire most about Joanne is her ability to capture a creative vision and turn that into reality with very little guidance and hand-holding. She is truly a star performer and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a creative genius on their team!”

FNCE 2014 Program Book

Designed seven-section, 200+ page program book for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics annual conference including covers, tabs and a fold-out map. Since it is a large booklet, I used different colors to highlight each section; color was printed in top right-hand corner of each page, on tabs and used for headlines within each section.

The main goal of the project was to ensure conference attendees could easily find information and for the book to be visually appealing. Project included importing ads from various companies and ensuring all pages and ads were prepared for the printer.
