Meet Staci

Art Director. Designer. Gardener. Lover of Ampersands. And excellent at shifting objects just a smidgen at photo shoots.

As an award-winning designer, Staci has over 25 years of design experience and more than a fifteen years as the Art Director of Special Editions at Baltimore magazine working on Baltimore Weddings (formerly Baltimore Bride) and Baltimore Home. While her heart lies in editorial design, she also specializes in brand identity, social, marketing, and event collateral.

She received her Master’s Degree in Publication Design at University of Baltimore, where the culmination of her studies was the creation of an original publication idea: Edison, the Magazine for Inventive Kids, which won the Agora Publishing Award for Traditional Print.

Prior to that Staci earned her Bachelor of Science in Geography with a certificate in Cartography at University of Maryland Baltimore County. She left UMBC with a love for maps … and a future husband. Both are still hanging around her Towson home with their two sons and ginger-haired dog and cat.

She also loves to garden, especially with a slight chill in the air or under a massive hat during the summer, in between nurturing her Etsy shop and keeping freelance clients happy.
