About Me



Mary M Meade



Creative Designer





I have more than 15 years of print, web and digital design experience. I have lived and worked as a Designer/Illustrator in three countries—Mexico (current location), USA (my citizenship and home country) and England (5 years).


I am passionate about books and started my career by studying book design at the London College of Printing (now the London College of Communication). Later I fine tuned my skills at the Loyola University Press (now Loyola Press) and other educational publishers in Chicago. Most recently I have been helping independent authors create amazing professional books.


Besides design, I have an MFA in painting and I am a fine art photographer. I run analogue photography workshops —Agave Darkroom Photography. My husband is a botanist specializing in cactus. Together we have also illustrated a line of t-shirts and a cactus coloring book all under the name of Cactus Infrared. And the list continues! I am mother of amazing daughters, a circus performer and a water aerobics instructor. Variety is the spice of life!

It takes experience to produce a finished a project on time while under deadline pressure. Years of experience = years of problem solving. ​

Creativity finding perfect aim on what the client wants. Some clients need you to think inside the box with as much flair as possible. Others want those ideas which completely do a flip flop on the readers expectations.



Knowledge

I have 15+ of design experience and I have lived extensively in 3 different cultures—England, Mexico and the USA. I have successfully designed and printed across the globe.
