Part user interface designer, shortcut nerd, visual problem solver, brand developer, and creative designer.
I can almost always be found with a full cup of tea and a readiness for anything.
I'm Liz, a graphic designer by day, living and creating in the greater Hartford area. Here you'll find a selection of some of my favorite recent projects and below is a little more about why I love design.
Aside from design, I have always had a love for travel. Whether it’s familiar places with family and friends, or venturing to new cities and finding the best hidden restaurants, I can never seem to get enough.
In between dreaming up new trips I can be found curled up with my two dogs or cat (just not at the same time), at a local winery or brewery with friends, or browsing the local antique store.
What keeps me designing…
A love for working with other creatives minds.
While the right playlist and cup of tea can help me focus on a design for hours on end, I find immense value in working directly with other creative minds. Designers, photographers, developers, or anyone involved on a project all have a unique perspectives to offer and help teams get to the end goal.
An eagerness to learn new skills and share fresh ideas.
Great design is timeless, but the programs that help us design and the way we create are ever changing. I find that learning from others at conferences, sharing ideas with co-workers, and simple online videos are some of the best ways to sharpen my design skills.
Constantly considering design and functionality in all aspects of life.
When I was in third grade I told my teacher I wanted to be a car designer. Starting in high school I held an entry role at a local interior design firm. In college, I soaked up every bit of art and design I could possibly consume, and these days I consider design not only in my professional career but in every aspect of life.
