“I need someone to make it pretty”
–direct quote from multiple clients
I love what I do because I get to meet awesome people & work on something new every day!
Hi, I’m Sharon!
I’m a graphic designer based in Wisconsin with over 15 years of experience & owner of Pen, Paper & Pixels. I started freelancing when friends and family started asking me for help with all kinds of random designs. Although I have college experience, I’m mostly self-taught through books, online courses, and personal experience. If there’s something I’m not sure how to do, give me a minute and I’ll figure it out!
I officially started my business in 2012 while still working for another company. Then, in 2021, I made the switch to full-time business owner so I could focus on my clients & have more time with my family.
These days, I really enjoy working on projects for other local businesses in the Green Bay Area.
I’m always willing to try a new project that’s something I’ve never done before. I learn from each experience and I love the feeling of helping other people.
