Joanne's Story
Life
Yeah, yeah. I know you Fox Lane High folks are wondering; "Does she talk now?" Well, get in touch and find out!
Moved to NYC after graduating from Carnegie Mellon U. Was an advertising art director (also did some copywriting) for 10 years. Then left on-staff advertising and started my own itty-bitty (but international award-winning!) ad agency / design studio. Create ads (art direction & copywriting), logos, promo materials, packaging, etc. Over the years, clients have included Steinway & Sons, The New Yorker Magazine, IBM, Chase Bank, Diners Club, Healthtex, The United Nations, HDI, Solar Outdoor Lighting, Connie's Bakery, and Moe's Deli (No client is too large or too small!). Connie's Bakery & General Store opened on 2/21/05 at 41 S. Moger Avenue in Mt.Kisco (down the alley from Starbucks).

Became a Screen Actors Guild member in '92 and have done some film, TV, and commercial work on the side (my main hobby). Other interests include photography, music, poetry, modern dance, hiking and canoeing. Not fond of group sports -- still have nightmares about gym class!
My parents and brother (John) moved to Olympia, WA in the mid 80's. My sister (Francesca) lives with her German Shepherd (Zoe) and her Pug (Parker), and directs an art program at the Birmingham zoo.

My brother and sister and I would all like to hear from old classmates, so please feel free to email me for contact info.
My "then" photo was taken right after high school graduation, and the "now" photo was taken during a vacation in Belize.
