Seduced by design at an early age
Some people just know.
Barb’s hands-on design experiments around the family home were relentless. After university, graphic design was the pragmatic choice, but when given a chance to design textiles, she joined a small interdisciplinary team at Teague, adding depth to her skill with color. Eventually, she was drawn back to graphic design to weave words and visuals together into concepts and solutions that work for clients.
The seduction continues as new ways to communicate surface to connect and tell stories.
