I’ve always been fascinated by the world of package design—the kind that makes you stop, pick something up, and admire it before you even know what’s inside. Those clever details, bold colors, and unexpected textures have a way of telling a story on their own, and that’s what first drew me into design. 

At MARQUEE, we’ve always prided ourselves on strong client relationships. As our work has grown in scale and complexity, we recognized the need for a dedicated role focused on ensuring clients feel supported every step of the way. That’s why we created the Director of Client Success position—and why we’re thrilled that the perfect person for the job turned out to be an old friend.

As a proud Youngstown advocate and the parent of an Ursuline alum, I’m heartbroken by the recent allegations coming out of Ursuline High School. I’ve walked those halls. I’ve cheered at those games. I know the strength of that community—and I also know how devastating it is when trusted institutions fail to act swiftly and transparently.

TikTok. YouTube. Snapchat. Instagram Reels and Stories. For someone like me, who writes for a living and has no other marketable skill (unless you consider being able to whistle and hum at the same time a marketable skill), the dominance of video content can be disconcerting, to say the least. 

As a graphic designer, I am often drawn to murals — not just for their scale, but for the way they transform public spaces into immersive storytelling canvases.

Murals blur the lines between design, art, and environment, offering visual narratives that spark curiosity and inspiration. It’s no surprise, then, that a recently unveiled mural at the newly renovated Walmart has caught the attention of many in the design community.
