What is Fat Dog Creatives?
Fat Dog Creatives is a boutique graphic and web design and development service founded in 2003. After marrying my soldier in 2009, I began that life of deployment, moves, and career in the backseat. I started small as a freelancer. Then, in 2015 I transitioned to learning what it means to be a full-time business owner, focusing on who I really want to serve, and diving further into design thinking.
In 2020, I added adjunct faculty at the Art Institute of San Antonio to my resume while doing client work. I help the next generation and those transitioning to a second career learn and refine technical skills and expand their creative horizons.
I am currently settled in San Antonio, TX, but frequently return to Seattle, WA and Bethesda, MD, where I still have friends and clients.
