Sue Krauer, Art Director
I graduated with a B.A. in Art Studio from UCSB in 1986. During my career, I've been a typesetter, art director of a showdog magazine, traveled the world doing sound and research for tv shows, helped write and produce an award-winning documentary (www.cryofthesnowlion.com), was a member of the board of directors at a therapeutic riding center, and successfully run my own graphic design business for over fifteen years. I'm the proud mom of an amazing son and live with my family on a ranch in the beautiful Santa Ynez valley just beyond Santa Barbara, California, with lots of horses, dogs, cats, and a couple of bearded dragons.
I love what I do! I'm committed to making every job look it's very best, meeting deadlines, working within budgets, and always doing business with a smile!
