Behind the design.

Donna Marceau
Business Development Strategist / Lead Designer

I began my professional career after graduating from Hussian College (Hussian School of Art) in Philadelphia. As a technical marketing designer, I was fortunate to have exciting opportunities including a stretch as The Philadelphia Zoo's Graphics / Exhibits manager and design coordinator of multi-million dollar tradeshow exhibitions for DuPont USA.

Then, as I worked with a variety of industries, I gained a unique insight working alongside corporate leaders and their sales teams. I came to understand a simple premise, successful business is predicated on a clearly focused marketing strategy that returns multifold on that investment. Inspired to broaden my understanding of the working sof business, I returned to school, earning an undergraduate degree in marketing at Ursinus College and an MBA at West Chester University of Pennsylvania.

In 2021, with many years of experience and my stubborn desire to bring the highest quality strategies, design and technical solutions to my clients, I continue to learn and execute with the latest software, design tools, data management and code platforms.
