About Me

VISIT MY ART PORTFOLIO AT: www.deidredesign.comEntrepreneur through the Arts and environmentalist. Focused on continuing my freelance graphic design career in print and web design. Also experimenting w/ design and color by painting pottery. Owner, designer and distributor of the "Keep Okoboji Blue" brand. Please visit the web site at www.keepokobojiblue.com. This brand was started to help raise funds for Iowa Great Lakes water quality. Also owner and art director of the "Vintage Okoboji Collection" print series. With this I hired and have the joy of working with award winning illustrator Neal Aspinall, from Lake Geneva, WI. I joyfully serve on the Okoboji Protective Association Board of Directors, ArtsLive Board of Directors and marketing group - please visit the web site I built for ArtsLIVE at www.artslive.com. I live a part of my life through good quotes and coincidence. I like to hear a good story, more so if it's true. I like people who know the human condition. And people who create art to be in business. Looking for influence to postive movements and to always be open to broader subjects. Gee, I am sure full of myself - sorry.
