About
I started my own graphic design company after working at an ad agency and freelancing for a wide variety of agencies and firms. I managed freelancers and multiple projects, for a wide variety of clients.
While running Alterna Design + Company, I branched out into video production. One Smart Cookie Productions creates educational DVDs for children. Our DVDs are distributed throughout the US and Canada.
I am also a licensed Realtor, working with my builder husband and various buyers and sellers.
