About

A Graphic Designer Specializing in Print and Digital Design for Effective Advertising and Marketing

Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Patrese.  I have a passion for uniting effective design with creative thinking. I enjoy working with my clients on solutions for their graphics and advertising needs. Because I've been in the industry for over twenty years, I have acquired a broad range of knowledge and experience in both print and digital media.

Advertising That Shines

I like to think of myself as part of your team. I enjoy collaborating with others to create the perfect message, but also work very well solo. I love creating beautiful designs that grab attention and clearly and effectively communicate the message.

A Little Background

I have worked on accounts such as Wendy’s, Golden Corral, Wolf Ranch, Let's Go Aero, Lilac Hills Ranch, Accretive Investments Inc., Midnight Rose Hotel & Casino, (JP) McGills Hotel & Casino, The Brass Ass Casino, Wilderness Medical Society, the Colorado Department of Transportation, The City of Colorado Springs, the Colorado Springs Airport, Escambia County Sheriff's Office, Tecra Tools, and Spring's Magazine — to name a few.

Education

Originally from North Dakota, I  have a Bachelor or Arts Degree in Graphic Design with concentrations in photography, broadcasting and marketing from Minot State University, as well as an Associate of Applied Science Degree with concentration in Commercial Art from Bismarck State College.

Awards

I strive for excellence in every project I work on
