Blue Lake Design

about

Hello! I’m Anne McLaughlin, owner of Blue Lake Design. I have been a graphic designer for over 20 years, working independently as a freelancer since 1999. I have worked with a wide variety of clients such as book publishers and authors, tech companies, educators, musicians, transportation professionals, real estate agents, and nonprofit organizations. I have also collaborated with a technical writing agency on graphics for large energy companies.

Before branching out on my own, I worked at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where I created a variety of pieces from exhibition graphics to brochures, to signage, invitations, and educational activity books. I worked with a great team in creating museum graphics for thousands of viewers.

I also bring an international perspective to my design, having lived and worked in France for five years. Being immersed in the culture, language and history of France brought a new dimension to my life that continues to help foster my creative abilities. (And of course, if you need a project translated for the French-speaking market, I’m the one to call!)

Design doesn’t happen in a bubble, however.
I often team up with other professionals to round out my offerings to my clients:

Stefanie Jacobs, copywriter, has more than 20 years of experience in the marketing communications industry. With a degree in writing and business know-how on both sides of the agency fence, her expertise lies in copywriting, editing, strategic marketing consultation, and project management. She has worked with nonprofit associations, financial and insurance-focused organizations, community builders and developers, high-tech (predominantly storage) companies, as well as magazine and book publishers.

Stefanie combines patience, creativity, and thoughtfulness with clear, articulate business sense and outstanding problem-solving skills to ensure her messages are communicated effectively.

Code Dragon Design & Development: Angie and Chris Bronson have been involved with web development and design for over 20 years. Fueled by a burning desire to work directly with clients and make a difference, they recently branched out on our own as freelance web developers and designers. Their passion is helping people and collaborating with businesses and non-profits to enhance their online presence and strengthen their brand. And they go the extra mile for each and every client – offering everything from a one-time emergency fix to ongoing support.
