A TINY BIT ABOUT MITZIE
Formerly trained, real-world experienced.
I earned my honors BFA in Graphic & Interactive Design and Illustration from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. Professionally, I have created illustrations and graphic design for custom packaging, product design, marketing materials, interactive user experiences, point-of-purchase displays, and trade show environments. My work has appeared in retail venues such as Williams Sonoma, Publix, Target, Walmart, Disney Theme Parks, Costco, 7-Eleven, T.J. Maxx, and Barnes & Noble Cafés. I also have artwork held in both private and institutional permanent collections.
