Original; not dependent on other people's ideas; inventive and unusual: see creative

A woman celebrating her birthday with a lit sparkler attached to a bottle of alcohol, and a birthday cake on a plate in front of her, topped with fruit and decorative mint leaves, as she smiles and enjoys the moment.

Heather is a designer and creative manager with over 15 years of experience working across agency environments, in-house teams, and independent collaborations. Her work sits at the intersection of craft and strategy, translating complex ideas into clear, confident visual systems. She partners closely with clients and collaborators, shaping work that is cohesive, intentional, and built to last.

She lives in Huntsville, Alabama (for now) with her two cats, plays pub trivia on Thursdays and has finally mastered the art of microwaving popcorn. You could say she’s living the dream.
