Meet Ann Pierce
I have over 20 years of design and marketing experience. My work has been published in the annuals of Graphic Design USA and Print Magazine. Throughout my career I’ve designed for a wide variety of industries including software, fashion, electronics, manufacturing, finance and healthcare. I have an innovative design sense which is balanced by an affinity for strategic thinking and business marketing. This has evolved into the formula behind my work – combining the best marketing techniques with great design to create effective, efficient marketing projects for my clients.
