About Gwen:

Like most creatives, I like to discover, create, inspire. Talk about printing processes or paper, and you've got my attention. I cannot work without music…or drive, or do much at all without a soundtrack in the background. When not slaving away at the computer, you can find me sipping wine…or a nice cold beer, playing with my crazy ass cat, sharing ridiculous stories with friends, smiling, writing down ideas/making sketches, and mixing drinks behind the bar.

Born and raised in a western suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, I graduated from Kent State University with a BFA in Visual Communication Design with a concentration in 2D (print will always be my love). I have a random sense of humor, love to laugh, and can be described as snarky. Oh, and I like fun.

A logo a day – branding Minnesota’s 10,000 Lakes

Designer Nicole Meyer has taken on a large task – that of creating a logo a day for Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes. She figures it will only take a little over 27 years. No big deal. I’m really enjoying the clean solutions and simple genius that some of the names provide. Make sure to check out…
