Here comes Summer!
SNDI is going through some changes
so I hope you'll read on and visit the site.

I attended Savor The Success - Women Entrepreneurs Rock The World on May 5, with hundreds of other businesswomen. The guest speakers, Angela Jia Kim, Lisa Price, Poppy King, Allison Slatery Ray, Libby Gill, Marta Tracy, Julie Steelman and Michael Gerber, were all enlightening. I learned so much and connected with many other businesswomen. I've always thought my business was about the work. Show my best work and the clients will come. This is somewhat true, but what makes a client stay with me year after year? Trust and mutual respect. I listen, take them by the hand, and lead them in the right direction. I make my clients look good! In thinking about what separates me from other designers, it finally hit me, ME! My ideas will always be different from another designer's. So, my new tagline is, Branding YOU Better! and I've started revamping my website to reflect this in a much clearer way. I'm also building a new site, which I'll launch soon. I'd say "Savor the Success" Rocked My World!
FB Lake LLC FB Lake LLC is a new, woman-owned, global financial company with locations in New York and Toyko. I have been busy designing the branding and assorted print, Powerpoint and web marketing solutions.
	Project SOAR The International Rescue Committee (IRC), in partnership with the Nationalities Service Center (NSC), in its seventh year, announces Project SOAR. A program providing technical assistance to refugee-serving organizations receiving ethnic self-help and supplemental services grants from the Office of Refugee Resettlement. I have designed their new logo, and I'm currently developing their new website.
Hudson Theatre Ensemble As a proud supporter of this local theater company since 2004, I can't wait to see their next production, The 3 Little Pigs. Opening on June 12, this musical will delight adults as well as children. Check out their site to make reservations.
	SecurenCrypt Data Protection International has developed an exclusive process that allows anyone with basic computer skills to use encryption with one-click. I've been busy designing "SecurenCrypt's" corporate identity, sell sheets, large scale banners and Powerpoint.
John Crittenden - Show Me Your Faces I've had the pleasure of working with John over the years and here's the postcard I designed for his solo show opening June 1st at "Made With Love" Artisan Bakery & Cafe in Downtown Jersey City. The opening party is Saturday, June 5, 7-9pm.
	Save The Frogs Dr. Kerry Kriger works tirelessly on behalf of frogs and other amphibians. I've been designing posters, t-shirts, flyers and postcards. His latest mission is to stop restaurants from serving frogs legs across the planet and this is one of the postcards circulating against a southwest chain.
Frogs Are Green Mary Jo Rhodes and I continue to blog about all sorts of frog-related topics, but with the BP Gulf oil spill disaster, now the worst oil spill in history, for the last few weeks we've devoted our posts to the wildlife threatened. We've also designed some t-shirts on this topic and proceeds will go toward wildlife charities and Gulf region relief. New designs include "Oil & Water Don't Mix" and "BP - Broken Planet." We have a Facebook cause page to make it easy for people to show they care. Please visit our blog, check out the galleries, and feel free to comment at: FrogsAreGreen.com
...and much more in the works.
