About Connie Marturano

versatile graphic designer and marketer based in Connecticut

As a creative marketing professional, it is my responsibility to communicate a message on behalf of a client or organization that wants to connect to a specific audience through various design pieces. What I enjoy about the entire process is determining the best solution for a client. How can you connect with a unique group to inform, amuse or share information when the average attention span of a consumer is 8 seconds? That is why it is so important to create a memorable and simple design piece to capture their attention.  

I have 17 years of experience in marketing and graphic design and have worked for companies in the advertising, arts, food & beverage, non-profit, sports & entertainment, technology and transportation industries. I have a MA in Information Design and a BS in Business Administration with a Specialization in Marketing. I am hardworking, detailed-oriented and always eager to learn new things.

I am fascinated with art, people, culture and geography. In my spare time, I enjoy running, exploring history, traveling and photography.

Philosophy

My personal philosophy is that all Web and print design serves a purpose.  My role is to communicate on behalf of a company or client that wishes to get a message out to an intended audience to evoke a response. Creative marketers or designers communicate through various mediums that best carry this message through the use of imagery, type, symbols, etc. For example, a client might need to create a new logo and brand identity package to build brand recognition and persona.  

There is a methodology behind every messaging and design solution that starts with research, sketching message crafting and conceptualizing to the execution, reflection and presentation stage that ensures the highest quality solution and service appropriate to a client.
