I’ve been in the design industry for over 25 years, which is half of my life. There have been fun projects, great clients and trainwrecks where I considered poking my own eyes out. But in all of my years of working, I’ve never submitted any of my work in award competitions.When the Advertising Federation of Palm Beach County announced their call for entries, I figured, why not? The ADDY’s are like Oscars for creative types. Don Draper won them. What do I have to lose?

I’m excited to announce that both of my submittals garnered awards.

A Gold ADDY for my self-promotion campaign to non-profits:

And a Silver ADDY for Community Partners‘ Impact Report:

As a late-bloomer for award submittals, I was both surprised and proud for the recognition. And feel true gratitude for all of my wonderful clients who enable me to do what I love on a daily basis.

Thank you for allowing me this moment of shameless self-promotion. Hopefully it won’t take another 25 years to happen.
