Hi, I'm Tanya!

I am originally from the Midwest of the US and recently moved to Nottingham, England. I have worked professionally as a graphic designer and design manager for over 20 years. I am also a theatre artist. I have worked professionally in various roles in the theatre world - acting, directing, teaching, playwriting, and some set and costume design. I hold a BA in graphic design as well as an MA in theatre both from the University of Missouri - Kansas City.

With established professional careers in both graphic design and live theatre, my design aesthetic and creative style are grounded in great storytelling. Whether I am designing a poster or managing a marketing campaign, I am passionate about maintaining the creativity and structure of every project.

I love a great design challenge!

My Design Philosophy

Graphic Design is all about what you look at first, then next, and next again. It is about organizing information in an engaging way in order to keep a reader's attention, delight their aesthetic sensibilities, and ignite their imagination. I have a hard time reading anything that is just a block of text, so I enjoy designing layouts that draw the eye and assist the reader in staying engaged.

I am a creative to my core, and I love working with other talented people to create a cohesive and engaging finished product.
