Hi there! I’m Mary.
The creative behind MMD
I’m a brand designer, writer, and strategic planner. If you crave clever prose, elegant designs, and clear direction I can help. Together, we can make your project unforgettable.
MMD Creative specializes in brand imaging and strategic planning for entrepreneurs and established small businesses.
My experience in promotional writing, logo design, project planning, website design, social media – design, ad placement, and promotion, translates into a fantastic mixed bag of benefits for you.
I’m the owner of the SpokenWomen community for creative Catholic women entrepreneurs. I also write the blog Divine, Clever or Whatever – a personal blog highlighting God’s grace in my life. I’ve spent over 25 years in corporate, legal, non-profit, medical fields and magazine editing. I have a BA degree from Northern Illinois University in Journalism and Advertising Design. I also hold an MBA in Strategic Marketing from Regis University in Denver, Colorado.
I’m a mom of two and Mimi to a pair of rambunctious grandsons. My husband, Greg, and I are enjoying our vibrant, amusing, busy empty-nester life in Dixon, Illinois in the 127-year-old Craftsman home where I grew up.
