My name is Hillary. I am a creative professional focusing on crafting strategic concepts and designs.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Advertising from Southern Methodist University, with minors in Fine Art and Psychology.
Since graduating from SMU in 1996, I climbed the Advertising Agency Art Direction ladder in Dallas, Texas to become a fully-seasoned, professional creative who knows the importance of deadlines, clear communication and innovation.
In 2015, I relocated my family to the beautiful little town of Durango, Colorado to work for my own clients.
I pride myself on being responsive, strategic, creative and detailed on each and every project I work on, no matter what the scope. I enjoy doing work for all types of companies and I love a good challenge.
From the dark ages of PageMaker, through the depths of QuarkXpress, I now happily work in Adobe InDesign daily for layout. You could call me an expert, but there is always more to learn!
I have been a Photoshop user since the beginning. Oh, how we've grown! I use it for color correction, image manipulation, animated gifs and web design. And any other magic that needs to happen.
Having a passion for logo design, Illustrator is a tool I couldn't live without. I use this to design anything vector-related to ensure the best results for the artwork at any size.
The Internet keeps me on my toes! Yes, I've got some old-school inline code skills (which is handy for emails), but I am always learning new technologies and techniques. I mainly work in Dreamweaver for coding.
