See all those people in the graphic above?
They are all me.
Or at least all of my skills,
working together,
to help you realize your vision.
Lamb & Lion Studio is a one-woman art and design studio. As a freelancer, I offer my services as an illustrator, web and print designer, copywriter and marketing consultant. Being able to handle both form and content makes me a full service agency.
My aim as a marketing designer and consultant is to help you identify the heart of what you offer, and then, working closely together, find the best way to translate that understanding into vivid, eloquent communication.
Above all, I function as an artist. I see the big picture and I see the details as parts of an evolving whole. The best clients for me are people who care deeply about what they are doing and the world we live in and who have faith in the creative process.
Design is not just
what it looks like
and feels like.
Design is how it works.
~Steve Jobs
Clear, Creative Design & Illustration
To illustrate is to SHOW. I think of everything I do as a form of illustration. We live in a richly visual age. People grasp content easily through pictures and text arranged in a visual way. Too much text deflects attention. Words need to be crafted with as much care as images for their visceral as well as their conceptual meaning.
No matter what the medium or device—a piece of paper, lots of pieces of paper stuck together, screen, tablet, smartphone—effective design is a marriage of form and content informed by vision, meaning, purpose and relevance.

Content precedes design.
Design in the absence of
content is not design,
it’s decoration.
— Jeffrey Zeldman
Thoughtful Copywriting
Successful design—design that communicates meaning—is more than information arranged prettily on a page or a website; it is a compelling story told in words and pictures that shows why a place, person, organization, project, idea or event is valuable, desirable, useful, maybe even essential.
The expression of a message flows from an understanding of what needs to be expressed and why. Developing that vision through active listening, questioning and collaboration is one of the keys to powerful and effective content. Another key is using words with creative precision in order to bypass cliché and take the high road to authenticity, caring, and reaching out to others.

People need stories
more than bread itself.
They tell us how to live,
and why.
