She loves working with publications and typography. Her favorite project was a self-initated magazine with Lebanese colleague, Halim Choueiry, Comma. The
intention of the publication was to offer designers of the Middle East a forum
and showcase for regional work to engender awareness and pride in the work there.

She has degree in education from Paterson State College (New Jersey) and a MFA
in visual communication design from North Carolina State University.

Her years in the Middle East have allowed her to admit that she loves pale pink.
