My name is Holly and I live in Connecticut with my husband and two children. We have a King Charles Spaniel and an adorable Chinchilla. In my free time I enjoy photography, nature and exploring. We lead very busy lives between school, jobs, sports and keeping track of all the activities the kids have going on. I wouldn’t trade the craziness for a minute! Sometimes I wonder what I will do with all my free time when the kids have grown up and are running their own crazy lives.
I have been in the creative industry for over 20 years with experience in digital, print, mobile and email communications. I started as a print designer and moved into the digital world of emails and websites as a Creative Director. I also owned my own graphic design company for many years. In my recent role as Senior Communication Manager, I provide design direction and strategy within healthcare communications for both print and digital. A large part of my role is client facing to provide solutions and strategy while maintaining the brand across several products.
I enjoy the fast-paced ever-changing atmosphere of the creative world. I am currently attending Quinnipiac University as a graduate student to gain more knowledge in user experience to take my career to the next level. The digital world fascinates me. The understanding of what user experience means for the user is essential. It is all aspects of the end-user’s interaction with the site, services and products. I hope to use my education, passion and creative talent to achieve my next career chapter.
