About

This is who I am

I am a freelance graphic designer with 31 years of diverse experience delivering digital and print materials for a variety of client campaigns. The depth of my experience includes logo design, editorial illustrations, print design, and web development.  My graphic design experience has been the foundation in which I’ve built two successful businesses from including Lisa Marie Pottery www.lisamariebarnum.com where my collections are represented in multiple galleries and gift shops nation-wide and “It’s in the Details” where, as a Wedding Event Designer, I’m responsible for designing all visual aspects of wedding including monograms, invitations, labels, signage, etc. (see examples of work here URL). Lastly,  as  the Executive Director of Art Works (a non-profit community art center) I have in-depth operational and leadership experience in an environment with limited resources.
