Meet The Artist

Hello, I'm Mary!

I am a recent college graduate from  Fitchburg State University where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Communications Media, with a concentration in graphic design. I have spent the past nine years studying and working in the design and photography field and am experienced in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Abode Indesign, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe XD.


As an artist, I aim to create impactful designs which tell a story. As an individual, I have always had a passion for storytelling. Whether that be through written word, or through providing a clear narrative visually in my designs, I love to tell an exciting and engaging tale. This serves my clients well, since I am able to get their message across in my designs, as well as, provide an exciting experience visually. Outside of a passion for message design, I have a love for the world around me. As a visual person, I am able to see the beauty in the mundane everyday life. Seeing the beauty in even the most boring aspects of life, serves me as a designer through not only inspiration, but a deep understanding for design that we find all in the world around us. Some of the best examples of the core elements of strong graphic design can be found in nature; In nature we see illustrations of space, balance, movement, visual hierarchy, and color. Through being able to recognize design all around me, it pushes me to create strong compositions and to grab my viewer’s attention through my strong typographical choices, bold colors, and well thought out layouts. Overall as an artist, I not only aim to serve my clients and fill their needs through relaying their message in an impactful way, but I really aim to create designs that excite and move me.
