Brand, Print & Web Design with a Broader Perspective
I’m an award-winning graphic designer and the founder of Shipley Creative, based in Tucson, Arizona. With more than two decades of experience in brand identities, print, website design, and digital media, I help businesses tell their stories through design that feels distinctive, purposeful, and connected.
One Creative Partner. A Cohesive Vision.
My work spans the many ways people experience a brand—from a logo and website to a publication, digital campaign, or photograph. I combine storytelling, strategy, and creative direction to make those individual pieces work together.
That can mean developing a visual identity, designing a visitor guide, shaping an intuitive website, or defining a brand’s photography style. I consider both the big picture and the details, giving you a versatile creative partner who understands how each design decision supports your overall brand.
Deep Roots in Tourism & Hospitality
Much of my career has focused on tourism, hospitality, and destination marketing. I love finding what makes a place special and translating that character into design that invites people to experience it.
That same curiosity guides my work with clients across industries. Whether I’m working with a destination, a financial services company, or an independent business, I start by understanding your story, your audience, and what you want to accomplish.
A Collaborative Approach
I work closely with business owners, marketing teams, writers, and developers, bringing clear communication and personal attention to every project. Whether you need a single publication or a broader brand presence, I help turn your ideas into thoughtful design that connects with the people you want to reach.
Have a project in mind? Let’s talk.
Responsive Website Design
I design custom, responsive websites for a seamless experience on any device. With a focus on UX/UI and WCAG compliance, I ensure intuitive navigation, accessibility, and a strong visual impact.
Branding & Visual Identity
I create distinctive visual identities that capture a brand’s essence. From logo design to brand guidelines, I craft each element to ensure a cohesive, memorable, and strategically aligned brand presence.
Editorial & Print Design
I design visually compelling print materials that seamlessly integrate typography, imagery, and composition to create engaging and effective layouts. They capture attention and leave a lasting impression.
