About Me:

Graphic design is my life's passion.

I've done it professionally for nearly two decades. Until recently, I worked full-time in fabulous Las Vegas for Harrah's Entertainment, the world's largest chain of casino hotels. Specifically, I was the only in-house print advertising graphic artist for the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, Paris Las Vegas and Bally’s Las Vegas.

Created from my office at the Rio, my artwork was reproduced on billboards and moving vehicles (taxi-toppers and minibus wraps), in national and local magazine display ads, newspaper ads, posters, backlit signs, banners, brochures, booklets, rack cards, fliers and in a multitude of other print collateral pieces. I was responsible for maintaining a consistent brand look for these 3 hotels, their famous stage shows (e.g., Penn & Teller, Mel Brooks' The Producers, and Chippendales) and for the World Series of Poker occurring every summer at the Rio. In the area of branding, I also created logos. Occassionally, I wrote advertising copy to accompany my designs.

In March of this year, I resigned from the corporate world to venture out on my own. I became an American expatriate by relocating to the beautiful city of Chihuahua, Mexico, to follow my freelance dreams and form a family with my Mexican fianceé. (Note: I tried to change my profile's location from Las Vegas to Chihuahua, but ArtBistro's settings wouldn't allow me to do this.) Now I exclusively dedicate my talents to freelancing both print and web designs. My principal clients are Sunlark Research (an Arizona company for which I am its webmaster) and AdVision (an ad agency formed by my fiancée in Chihuahua, Mexico, for which I have provide designs to multiple accounts).

For more information about me and my designs, please log onto my portfolio website at www.the-pill.ws.

    Thanks for the group invite. I definitely feel deeply about many causes and do express my opinions. This drives my family crazy at times, they get that "deer inthe headlights look!" This may ease things up for them.....a little.....maybe.... :) LOL!
    Take care, Frances
