I am that rare, “whole-brained” combination of creative artist and analytical programmer which allows me to be equally effective in a development or a design role. I have worked in the marketing, design, and technology fields for more than two decades with clients in a wide range of industries, including publishing, restaurants, non-profit, small business, corporate, military/ government and educational institutions. My consulting and corporate work includes acclaimed site design and comprehensive e-commerce site development. Additionally, I have implemented Ad Agency-led international marketing campaigns and managed application development for the US Air Force.
Since 2002, I’ve been the co-owner and creative director of Spark Creative Partners (previously Bemis Promotions) a full marketing and advertising agency providing websites, social media, graphic design, and advertising for authors, artists, musicians and bands, small businesses, and non-profit organizations.
I’m currently looking to step away from the business and hand off day-to-day operations to my partner. I’m now seeking new challenges in a position that will combine my skills in leadership, marketing, graphic design, web development, and project management equally, and utilize my twenty-plus years of experience in those areas.

I believe it's incredibly important to keep informed, and NPR is usually playing in my car and in my office. (Note: I keep my political views to myself.)
I really want to be good with plants. But alas, I kill them every time. I'm currently on the third iteration of my kitchen herb garden.
I'm a published author of fourteen Small Town Contemporary Women's Fiction and Romantic Thriller novels. To learn more about Liz the Author, check out my author website.

I can often be found quilting, knitting, crocheting or sneaking in a trip to the craft store to pick up yarn or fabric for my stash. One day, I may put together an online portfolio of fiber crafts, but in the meantime, check out my inspirational pinterest boards of yarn and quilting projects.
When I'm not hanging out in front of the computer or a craft table, I can be found in front of my stove, trying my hand (and spatula) and a wide variety of ethnic foods and custom culinary delights.
By now, you may have surmised that I am kind of crafty. I enjoy working with polymer clay, resin and wire to create jewelry for myself, friends, and family. (Enjoy the links to my inspiration boards at Pinterest)
I rescued Copper as a pup. The pound told me he was a 5 1/2 month old Beagle mix who should make it to about 35 pounds. They lied. He was a 3 1/2 month old Fox Hound/Clydesdale Mix who topped out at 90#. He's a big galoot, but we love him.
