Sharon...Our Graphics Artist

Creative Diva

How I got here: Born in the great town of Yonkers, NY, I received my first big box of 64 Crayola Crayons when I was three and started drawing. I haven't stopped since. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY and studied for a year on my Masters in Media from the New School of Social Research in New York, NY. I trained classically as a painter, and with a solid background in direct mail, public relations, and color theory, I join all the elements of design together to create powerful promotional vehicles.

Why I love my job: With many years of working in Corporate America, I've come full circle to do what I love. Hit me with your most outrageous creative ideas: I can handle it. Dare me to create the promotional vehicle that gets you noticed and gets your business.

Personal Quote: Be to all what all is to nothing. --Sharon Free, ca. 1976  

Favorite Quote: I would die happy if I knew that on my tombstone could be written these words, "This man was an absolute fool. None of the disastrous things that he reluctantly predicted ever came to pass!" -- Lewis Mumford, sociologist

Personal Ethics: Totally accountability and honesty. The buck stops here. I endeavor to find ways to make it right.

Philosophy: I treat people the way I myself would expect to be treated. We all have to live on this planet together so we might as well find ways to get along.

What I Do When I Am Not Designing: Painting bottles. Driving back and forth with my pre-teen. I am a pop culture fanatic...I consider myself an expert on pop music of the 1970s. I cook and bake and eat. I am addicted to shoes, which is probably a big reason I am part of the EI team. :-) And now that I have a garage, I am looking forward to creating metal sculptures again.
