Hello! I'm a graphic designer specializing in print design. My passions lie in logo design, branding, print design, packaging, production artistry, and prepress. My favorite things to design are anything remotely history related, and you can probably tell from my portfolio. Due to this love of history and learning, every project I take on is researched in depth. I never pick up my artist pens without first researching the client and their industry/culture. 

I have a background in print and packaging, and a BFA in Communication Design from Buffalo State College (2013). My background in print includes working for a high-end packaging firm designing packaging solutions and administering prepress functions, as well as working for local marketing companies (one being a broker and one actually having a plant) on the front lines, communicating with graphic designers, clients, and vendors.

In addition to graphics and prepress, I love the art of millinery and create cocktail hats and hair pieces. These are for sale at my Etsy shop, www.etsy.com/shop/AcrossLots. You can learn more about said love of millinery by scooting over to the Millinery section of this site.

If you wish to work together on a project, don't hesitate to contact me at monicaruthcw@gmail.com.
