I’m a graphic + web designer partnering with academic and corporate marketing professionals.

Awesome design and
an enjoyable, collaborative,
human relationship.

From freelance designer to colleague + partner.

Whether you call me a freelance graphic designer, creative partner, or one-woman expandable design studio…names don’t matter as much as what you actually get: a partner who can handle your creative needs, big or small, who works corporate-friendly hours—and who will go the extra mile to be a team player and make your job easier.

Have a gap in quality, consistency, timing or woman power?

A job-well-done is just as important and rewarding as a great client relationship.

I love my clients.

And I like the variety of working with different people, and the learning that comes from supporting organizations in different sectors—from higher education to non-profits and corporations.

Tara helped us to meet the moment by redesigning our annual Kiski Bulletin. The new look was well-received and praised by our constituents. She has exceptional vision and brought a fresh perspective to our magazine, all while helping us stay within our budget.
