In 2006, she established i-tees. The basis of the site was to create a vehicle for self expression, posting t-shirt concepts on green thinking, baseball, WMLB, riding bicycles, and cleaning the environment. Rather than wear a logo or statement by someone else, wear something that expresses how you feel about yourself and the Earth. This September, she decided to give the site a complete make-over, changing it over to a Wordpress blog that she can customize herself.
She has received numerous awards from organizations and publications including the Art Directors Club of New York, Desi, Graphis, the Print Regional Design Annual, The Society of Illustrators, and Graphic Design USA. Her work is represented in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress.
She has donated her design work to various organizations, including the Hoboken 9/11 Memorial Committee, Jubilee Center Hoboken (for Children), The Central Avenue Special Improvement District (NJ), Actors Shakespeare Company at New Jersey City University,(NJ, Board of Advisors) Hudson Theatre Ensemble (NJ), and Chameleon Theatre Company Ltd. (NYC, Board of Advisors).
In April 2009, she partnered with Mary Jo Rhodes, author of nature books, to create another custom blog, FROGS ARE GREEN, with which they hope to increase awareness about the massive worldwide amphibian decline (up to one-third of species are threatened with extinction). Because frogs are an indicator species of a healthy environment, they also hope to spread the message that healthy frogs mean a healthy planet for all.
