Books are my specialty! Everyone has a book inside them just waiting to hatch. What is your book? I can help with the whole process, from chicken scratch, to print, to Kindle. I turn geese into swans. I do it all—from concept to design to print. I listen. I listen more. Then I collaborate and create designs that work in the real world. You'll be proud as a peacock of your brand. • branding: logos, taglines, business cards • marketing: ads, signs, mailings, promo materials • tutoring & consulting—don't just wing it MIGRATION: I loved being a high school biology and math teacher. Then my young son innocently pointed out that if I live as long as great-grandma, my life is nearly half over. After praising his math skills, I began thinking of myself as a half-lifer. So, with new urgency, I went back to school for my other passion—art. Rare Bird Design was born in 2005 and makes me happy as a lark. :: I'm here whether you need a scientific artist or a artistic scientist.
