About Me

Hello! My name is Thea Mills. I'm an art director and graphic designer based in Brooklyn, NY. I've held a number of full-time design positions over the past 10+ years, along with a variety of freelance work that has, at times been full-time, and other times, been my "free" time. I enjoy all aspects of design! I particularly enjoy a good challenge involving (hopefully) good typography. I recently completed several book design projects where I used the EasyCatalog plug-in with InDesign to automate the majority of production work. It was a great opportunity to maximize the potential of these two powerful tools and save some serious time on the production side of things. I also enjoy the the creative aspects of designing and coding a responsive website (feel free to resize this browser window to your heart's content, or simply enjoy the site on any mobile device).

 

Other interests and sources of inspiration include (in no particular order): music, running, painting, recycling and conservation, occasional photography of NYC subway tile art, entertaining and being entertained by two Siamese cats, trying to convince people I'm not a crazy cat lady, and maintaining an aquarium of three Australian Rainbowfish and two upside-down catfish. Additional miscellany and possibly unrelated facts: I was born in London, England, where I picked up a temporary accent, an irrational childhood fear of punks, and apparently an affinity for some classic Disney characters (as shown above).
