GRAPHEK Design Studio

After graduating Penn State with a B.A. in Graphic Design, my experience in New York City at MTV Networks, Meeting and Conventions Magazine, Modern Bride Magazine and in D.C. at Supon Design Group has brought creative competence and business savvy to shape GRAPHEK where it is today. 17 years of designing conceptual and integrated collateral materials for non-profits, associations and for private sector companies has emboldened my knack to clearly communicate and set clear expectations for every project and staff member - cashing the check I sign. I concentrate on the formulation of the project's meaning and intent rather than illustrating just a pretty picture. My creative passion inspires and provokes a response, creating an emotional imprint that will resonate with targeted audiences. I have a sixth sense to translate a project's vision to successfully convey a succinct visual communication solution.

I enjoy spending time with my three daughters, playing golf, cooking Korean food, and relaxing with a nice cocktail.

I graduated with a B.S. in Quantitative Business Analysis with an emphasis in Economics from Penn State. My statistical background in empirical observations, categorical data, conditional expectations and optimization has brought a sense of "thought leadership" that strengthen organizations' commitment to its stakeholders, members, community and constituents. I believe in not reinventing the wheel but rather challenging intuition to design and develop innovative and original creative design solutions that matter.

I strive to lower my golf handicap, catch the biggest fish, be a mixologist and enjoy grilling for family and friends.

Even before graduating with a B.F.A. in Visual Communication Arts, I've always been drawn to graphic design and its ability to communicate visually. A few mouse clicks can give you a voice that extends your message to unimaginable lengths, and I seriously believe everything imaginable is not impossible to achieve. Originality, memorability, and focusing on strong conceptual design, not just technique, define my spirit.

I like being organized in and outside of the studio and have often been referred to as A Little Martha Stewart when it comes to my love of crafts, party planning and all things sweet. The smallest details do make a difference! When I'm not being OCD, I like spending my free time with Cider, my toy poodle, volunteering at church and hanging out with my soon-to-be hubby.

Joining GRAPHEK with a B.F.A in Graphic Design, I came equipped with a pencil and a creative brain. With these two tools, I'm able to turn my free flowing, off-the-wall ideas into conceptual design solutions. Whether through illustrations or other forms of design, it is the blending of free creativity and the structure of design that creates a powerful and effective visual message.

I enjoy exploring the world, going on food adventures and plotting to take over the world one pixel at a time.

Being the longest member of GRAPHEK's team, I have perfected the art of napping, eating, barking and pooping. My daily tasks include sleeping on laps, chasing down couriers and retrieving milkbones.

It's a tough job but someone has to do it, right?
