Margo
received a B.S. in Graphic Design from the University of Cincinnati
in 1993. While at UC, she did several student internships: the
American Stock Exchange in NYC, Clifford Selbert Design in Boston
and Fitch Richardson Smith in Columbus.
She
then moved to NYC where she got her first job as a junior designer
at Mobium Corporation (a design firm which was owned by R.R. Donnelley
and Sons) working on annual reports and financial brochures for
about 2 years.
It
was designing on Net.Chick with Georgia that got Margo interested
in moving on into the freelance world which she stayed in for
about 5 years. During that time she worked on various book projects
at home such as L.A. Bizarro, Bombshells and Glamour Girls.
She also freelanced for many small graphic design firms including
Parham Santana, Lisa Klausing Design, Dekker Babian, Baseline
Design and New York University.
In
1999 Margo joined with Georgia to form Pink Design, Inc. After
5 successful years as a 2-woman company she is ready to move her
office back to Brooklyn and work again as a freelance graphic
designer.
