ABOUT ME
Colby is a senior visual communications specialist, freelance graphic designer and design consultant with a bachelor's degree in advertising and a master's degree in professional media and media management. She is a lover of all creative processes and collaborative environments. She loves contributing to and feeding off the creative energy of others, and enjoys helping others grow creatively and technically just as other creatives help her. Client interaction can be one of the most challenging parts of her job, but also the part she loves the most. While many find “dealing with clients” to be one of the more grueling parts of a designer’s job, Colby lives for the satisfaction she receives from a successful collaboration with a client. Blending her personal aesthetic with a client’s expectations to create a product of which both parties can be proud is always the ultimate goal.
She produces a variety of different media, including but not limited to, graphic design, publication and layout, illustration, photo illustration, photography, videography, animation, acrylic painting, net art and web design.
When she’s not designing, she enjoys canoeing or hiking with her wilderness-loving husband, their son and their two miniature Australian shepherds. When they haven't retreated to nature, they are exploring new cities, preferably by means of tapas restaurants, microbreweries and local wineries.
