When you're looking to hire a graphic designer, it doesn't hurt to hear phrases like "award winning" and "over 20 years experience," but the truth is, the work should speak for itself. This website contains a sample of my recent work, and I hope you'll enjoy browsing through it.
I've worked in many different industries and tackled every type of design challenge over the years, and I love the process. I'm also pretty darn good at it. My clients are important to me. When they tell me what they need, where they are, and where they want to go, I listen with an open mind, a ready imagination and a desire to exceed their expectations. I approach every job as a new opportunity to create something bold, eye-catching and unique.
Let's talk about your project. I'm a good listener.

"Cathy has a terrific enthusiasm for the work she does. Our job, designing the Cool House Tour guidebook for 2011, was our first time working with her, but it won't be our last. She demonstrated unfailing patience as we made edits and changes. She balanced receiving feedback and from two parties: Texas Solar Energy Society and Austin Energy Green Building. Working with a non-profit and a public entity would be a challenge to many designers...Cathy handled this with ease, a terrific attitude, and a huge smile. What I appreciated most was her dedication to the end product and it being right."
Natalie Marquis , Executive Director at Texas Solar Energy Society
"Cathy is a pro. She has the graphical technical chops and creativity that combine into resultant products that "work" and make her customers look better/smarter/cleverer than they probably are (at least in my case :). She comes up with great ideas and can execute them quickly with great results."
David Droman , President at Motivator Systems
"After 7 years our business needed to recreate our brand and image in the marketplace. In seeking assistance, we found Cathy through a referral from a highly trusted partner. In a very short window, Cathy was able to translate our vision and philosophy into visual image and written word."
Scott Peyton , Principal at Intandem Partners

"Cathy has proven to be an excellent design, art direction, and production resource for Art Squad's clients, specifically in the publishing industry. She fills a niche in the Austin design market that not many others can, with her experience designing book covers and extensive work in academia."
Bryan Carroll , Senior Recruiter /Talent Manager, Art Squad
"...Cathy has great intelligence, initiative, creativity and focus. Her work ethic is exceptional and the quality of her work is always of the highest standard. Sometimes what a client suggests is not always what they need. Cathy has the ability to listen, distill, and put forward her suggestions, IF and when they are warranted. Although she is friendly and warm and fun, she is business-like in her approach to all her work. She delivers on time and within budget. Throughout the course of my work I have had opportunities to use various graphic designers Cathy is the one I would choose above all of them. And I seriously can't stress this enough."
"Cathy is an extremely talented designer who consistently provides extremely creative work. Her ability to craft fresh and sophisticated solutions, and her skills with type make her one of the best designers I've ever worked with."
