I've been known to save well-designed junk mail for lengthy periods of time.
The best way to predict the future, is to create it.
I am passionate, enthusiastic, and energetic.
I can offer a rare viewpoint for what is needed to succeed in this constantly evolving profession.
I am persistent, possess a strong work ethic, and absolutely love designing. My favorite color is orange, and I am often drawn to most things unconventional. I graduated from St. John’s University with a BFA in Graphic Design.

Design is the method of putting form and
content together. Design, just as art, has
multiple definitions; there is no single definition.
Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics.

I always thought someone should do something about that,
then I realized I am that someone.
Kara Montalbano
Graphic Designer
I am a graphic designer and dog rescuer.
I believe in the science of color.
I love a diverse style of design.
Design is the beating heart of everything I do, be it web,
graphic or print form; I strive to provide work that not only
communicates the message, but also captures the imagination.
I'd rather go to Hogwarts than Harvard.
Let's chat. Send me a message, an email, text me, call me, maybe even Skype. You can also send smoke signals. Maybe walkie talkies are your preference? Or my favorite, snail mail!
Have some freelance work that you think I could help you with?
Let's talk. I like talking. We can talk about all sorts of things.
