A little personal info about me. PMS F04E98 (pink) is my favorite color + I get super excited when Pantone announces the color of the coming year. I typically have a pair of patent leather oxfords or loafers on my feet + a spare (or 2) in the closet. My favorite genre of music is alt rock, but I will always be devoted to 80s new wave. I have been married FOREVER to the kindest person on the planet. I have 2 grown boys who are my pride + joy. I have a sweet + spicy 2-year old mini dachshund named KiKi - my near constant companion. I've lived in Libertyville, IL for nearly 30 years. I have a tattoo on my right wrist of a lion to remind me to be brave even when I am not sure I can be.

While I have consulted on independent projects before, this is my first foray into building my own company + my own brand. I've worked for some of the largest multi-nationals as a designer, a brand strategist + marketing director. My career has included professional services firms, including the largest technology + strategy consulting firm in the world. I've also worked for several start-ups, a financial consulting firm + a CPG-focused thought leadership organization. If you are interested, my full bio is on my blog or contact me for my resume. I'm excited to be building on my vast experience creating differentiating + unique brands to help other companies stand out in a competitive market.

I'M MARLENE SHAFFER + I'VE BEEN IN THE DESIGN, BRAND IDENTITY + MARKETING SPACE FOR 25+ YEARS.

DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK...
