In 6th grade, Gail’s teacher predicted she would grow up to become a commercial artist and her designs would be on huge billboards, stories tall, in Times Square. While that specific location has yet to happen, her work as a graphic designer has been displayed on billboards across the country.

Gail graduated at the top of her design class in 2005 and has spent the last 17 years growing her career from associate graphic designer to creative director. In every role she holds, she strives to design with purpose and strategy to support client goals.

Throughout her career, she’s played an active role in numerous branding projects, rebrands and ad campaigns, created countless direct mail pieces and collateral designs, and thoroughly enjoys designing multi-page publications, books and annual reports. She regularly works in both in print and digital and has yet to find a CMS she can’t navigate.

For the past 12 years, the majority of her expertise has been dedicated to marketing banks and credit unions across the country. She’s won numerous design awards in the finance industry, including three CUNA Diamond Awards, two Platinum Hermes Awards, a Pinnacle Award and a Gold MarCom Award. Her proudest design achievement was being crowned the 2017 Lincoln AMA Cropped Competition Champion.

In addition to designing, she trains and competes in a variety of 5k, 10k and half marathons, with a goal to eventually gather the courage to attempt a full marathon.

Outside of designing and running, her life stays busy as a military spouse with three kids and a fetch-loving chocolate lab.
