graphic design • print design • CPG packaging design
Sue began her graphic design career at the age of 15 working part-time at the Burlington (WI) Standard Press doing ad design, paste-up and cleaning the stat camera.
Not realizing that graphic design could be an actual career, she studied architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. This 3-D experience came in handy later as she returned to graphic design with a focus on product graphics and packaging. Sue has designed just about anything that can be printed from tent cards to tennis rackets to trucks. When not concentrating in her tiny but efficient office, Sue is busy planning her next overseas adventure.
