I love seeing ideas come to life through great design.

With over 20 years of experience in the field of graphic design, I began my career working in small, award-winning design firms in Atlanta and New York City. This experience helped shape me as a designer and creative professional. In 2007, I formed Studio AG to work independently with organizations that inspire me.

Independent & nimble. A trusted design partner.

Studio AG is a “company of one”(C’est Moi!) and operates as an independent design firm for small businesses. I also consult on a regular basis with in-house design teams and design firms. I can jump in and help with overflow work, or give a fresh eye to a project.

One of my strengths is that I can envision the big picture/strategic direction of a project — while tending to the finest details of the design execution. One of my “whys” is to provide smart, effective branding design to help businesses feel more confident in selling their products.

I’m based in Norwalk, Connecticut, and work from my home studio with people worldwide. I also commute to New York City to work onsite with clients and collaborators.

Might I sprinkle in…

→ I’m a mom to one awesome kiddo and two incredible rescue pups.
→ I love browsing specialty food stores — They are my favorite places to shop!
→ Getting out into nature always inspires me.
→ I’m an avid gardener. In fact, one of my tomato photos was shared on Michelle Obama’s Instagram for her ‘Let’s Move Garden” campaign.
→ I make analog collage art from vintage papers & foraged materials. Such Joy!
→ On daily walks (doggies in tow), I often pick up sticks, pinecones, flowers, weeds and incorporate them into my art pieces. Check out my collage work on Instagram!
