My name is Darlene. I live in Connecticut with my husband, Stephen, and my two children, who are both currently in college. I guess that makes me an empty nester. When I'm not brainstorming the next big campaign idea, I enjoy spending time with my family, including Murphy, my 2-1/2-year-old golden doodle.
I've been a design professional for nearly 30 years, mostly working on the agency side, but I've recently ventured into the corporate world. My work has spanned various industries, including industrial, financial, education, nonprofit, healthcare, retail, and insurance, to name a few. Over the years, my focus has shifted from print design to website and social media, logo design, environmental design, signage, video storyboarding, and investor relations presentations. It seems like I've done it all. One consistent element in my work is the thought, research, and strategy that influence everything I do. I believe design should be authentic, intuitive, and tell a story, never just serving as decoration or an afterthought.
