Graphics By Design was started 15 years ago by Terri Donaldson without
a name because being a typesetter and layout artist didn't feel like
a business, just work for the family business to make a little money.
As the family business grew so did the typesetter. A college degree
in Graphic Design followed and then years of freelance jobs as a typesetter/layout
artist, not much design work, so back to college to learn more about
the designing end of things and to learn the latest design software.
While there, the concept for Graphics By Design was created by Terri
and her Dad who was also taking the classes. They had attended college
together from the beginning, thus forming a lasting designing partnership
that is still going strong today. She likes to say that she is the brains
and he's the brawn...well that's not what she says, but we won't repeat
it. She spends her spare time with her husband James as often as they
can in Laguna Beach, CA, and redecorating anything she can get her hands
on. She would like to do some amateur acting at the local theater, "At
The Grove", and maybe go back to college again to study Architecture.
