Hi! I'm Maggie!
Nice to meet you!
Hey, I’m Maggie. I am a graphic designer who loves making ideas clear, creative, and useful. I currently work as a graphic designer at Vertex Education, where I produce print collateral for campuses as well as a wide range of digital marketing assets. I also work with freelance clients, as I genuinely enjoy designing for different people and needs.
​
My passion is using design to help others bring their vision to life. I adapt my style to any brand, always thinking about the bigger picture while keeping an eye on the small details. Smart strategy and thoughtful execution are my thing.
​
I earned my bachelor’s in graphic design from Illinois State University. There, I gained hands-on experience designing for Event Management, Dining, and Hospitality, as well as the Office of Sustainability.
​
My goal is to make great design while ensuring a positive experience for my clients. I work with Adobe Creative Suite, Procreate, and website builders like Wix Studio and Squarespace. I love picking up new skills whenever a project calls for it.

Skills/Niches
As a designer, I have a diverse set of skills. However, these are the things I’m passionate about - the things that fascinate me and make me fall in love with my job over and over again.
Icons
Simple yet challenging, icon design has always been one of my favorite things to design. Need a complex set of icons quickly? I’m your girl! From simple social icons to icons representing entire event themes, I love executing something legible and visually exciting for the viewer.
Illustrations
Hand-drawn illustrations are always worth the extra work for me. They bring personality to my work and help me connect with a viewer more directly. Bringing sketches to life and animating my drawings has been a fun skill to learn. While I’m still refining my skills, the product speaks for itself.
Spreads
From magazines to digital packets, full-page layouts are difficult to execute. They require the ability to see the project as a whole while still focusing on individual assets. I don’t often get the opportunity to design full-page layouts, but when I do, time flies!
