I work with corporate and academic marketing professionals who seek awesome design and an enjoyable, collaborative, human relationship. I love my clients. And I like the variety of working with different people, and the learning that comes from supporting organizations in different sectors-from higher education to corporations.

My ideal clients are warm, driven marketing professionals who care about a great partnership as much as a job-well-done. I'm a freelance designer with corporate sensibility, corporate hours, and great-big capabilities. I'm enthusiastic, fun and direct. I like being part of your team, making your job easier, and helping your organization grow.
Thanks for saying hi! Your message is on its way to my inbox this very moment, and I'm excited to learn more about your project. I do my very best to respond to each request within 48 hours, so please don't think I'm ignoring you if you don't get a reply immediately. I appreciate your patience and look forward to meeting you soon.
As a marketer, I know you have a variety of needs. Many of your projects and campaigns may involve outside vendors and require a designer who can project manage and minimize costs. I see my role as providing excellent partnership, planning and design to you-as well as liaising with the vendors to ensure the finished product is as good as the planning and design that went into it.
If we are in simpatico, I'll prepare a proposal (complete with goals, deliverables, cost and timelines) for your review. When approved, I'll send over the contract. After the contract is signed and deposit paid, we'll schedule a kick-off meeting to review the goals for the project and answer any questions you may have.
Because I'm with Juno, volunteering for the pet therapy programs at UPMC Passavant Hospital and Pittsburgh International Airport. It's ultra-rewarding (for both of us)! Check out the canine-compassion on my Instagram. She has some availability on Fridays, yet she books-up early and requires abundant payment in treats, hugs and pets.

Tara is top-notch! We hired Tara to design branding/identity guidelines, a website and marketing materials for our real estate team, Sauereisen & Mohn. Tara exceeded our expectations! She is great to work with and listens to your ideas/concerns and makes your vision come to life. She is more than just a designer—she also adds value with her great business mind. We couldn’t have been more pleased!

As a production company, we were in way over our heads when our long-time client needed a redesign of their website. Our partnership with Tara allowed us to provide Gateway Royalty with a seamless experience and a fantastic final product. Tara brought organization and creativity to the project and continues to be a trusted partner & great resource for our company.

So since the dawn of the Internet, I've found one thing to be true. The more tech-savy and creative the developers/designers tend to be, the harder they are to work and communicate with. But I finally found someone who is the exception to this rule. Tara is not only one of the most skilled and tasteful designers I've ever worked with, she is also one of the most accessible and easy to communicate with. Her ability to speak in a way you understand without speaking down to you makes working with her a joy. She's super-organized and helps you get just as organized to get the most out of every project
