Nancy's Story
I started high school at Irvin High School in El Paso Texas, but had to move to Milton, ND for my father's work, he is a nuclear engineer. I went to high school at Milton Public School from 1974 to 1978. I then went to college at the University of North Dakota for 7 years and earned a triple undergraduate degree in Industrial Technology, Journalism and Visual Arts. Then I went on to earn my Master's degree in Industrial Technology and graduated Magna Cum Laude.
My first job was as a graphic designer with Meredith Corporation, in Des Moines, IA, better known for the magazines and books it publishes like Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I worked there for 8 years and was promoted through the ranks to an Associate Art Director. I married in 1992 and moved to Madison Wisconsin to work as Art Director at Lands' End the catalog. After two years at Lands' End I left to work for Current Inc...Expand for more
. in Colorado Springs as the Manager of the Digital Design Group, when the company was sold in 1995 I went to work for Mattel in Los Angeles. I worked for the high end collectible Barbie division as a Senior Packaging Designer.
My health took a turn for the worse and I left the stress of Los Angeles and moved back to Des Moines, IA and started my own freelance design company now called McGrath Creative. I lived in Tucson, Arizona for awhile until I got a divorce in 2000 and then moved to Colorado Springs, CO where I am now. I won many design awards over the years, but have been on disability due to my health since 2003. I am back in school now getting my software skills back up to par so that I can continue freelancing or go back to work full time. I am also remarried to a wonderful man named Mark Latham. No kids, just two cats, Batman and Possum. Can't wait to hear about everyone else
